Health information
It is important trusted health information is available to people affected by ocular melanoma. Ocular Melanoma UK is producing literature about this condition written together with people affected by ocular melanoma and expert medical professionals to make sure it’s medically accurate, clear and trustworthy.
If you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with eye cancer, you are probably reeling from the shock. People often describe this time as a ‘whirlwind’ or a ‘roller coaster’. There is so much to take in with everything moving so quickly.
We are not medical professionals, and this is not medical advice. But we do understand what you are going through. At a time when it can feel as if your entire world has been turned upside down, we hope this information might help you feel a bit more in control.
Patient Booklet:
This document has been written from a ‘patient perspective’ by a group of ordinary people who have also been diagnosed with ocular melanoma.
Stage 4 Booklet:
This booklet is for anyone with uveal melanoma that has spread to other areas. Your partner, family or friends may also find this useful.
Uveal melanoma is a type of eye cancer. If it spreads to other areas, it is called metastatic cancer. You may also hear it called stage 4 cancer, secondary cancer, or uveal melanoma that has metastasised.
