EyeConnect Podcast

At Ocular Melanoma UK, we know how powerful it can be to hear from others who truly understand the journey.

That’s why we’ve launched EyeConnect — a heartfelt podcast sharing real stories, expert insights, and practical advice for people living with ocular melanoma and those who support them.

Our Latest Episode

In this inaugural episode of Eye Connect, Jo Gumbs shares her personal journey with Ocular Melanoma, the rare cancer that took her father’s life. She discusses the founding of Ocular Melanoma UK (OMUK) in 2009, driven by the need for support and information for patients and families affected by this condition. Jo highlights the charity’s advocacy efforts, including the approval of new treatments, the importance of community support, and the ongoing research aimed at improving patient outcomes. The conversation emphasizes the significance of psychological support, patient empowerment, and the collaborative efforts within the community to ensure no one faces this journey alone.
