We'll be learning about the typical emotional experience that can help you appreciate that you are not alone and help you better anticipate— and manage—the days ahead. Most importantly, hear what experts have to say and how others who have been through it have coped with the emotional fallout of the disease.​​​​​​​​ The graphic of the rollercoaster is linked here: https://thebigordeal.com/chart/ ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lookin’ For a Cure Arizona 5K Walk for Ocular Melanoma  COMING UP September 24, 8 AM  Register here and be sure to bring friends and family to walk with us!
