Ocular Melanoma Resource: Handbook For Patients And Families

Finding Your Way With Ocular Melanoma: A Handbook For Patients and Families was created to serve as an all-in-one-place resource, written by one of the most experienced ocular oncologists in the world, yours truly! Searching for knowledge on the internet may result in inaccurate information, a focus on the worst-case scenarios, and conflicting ideas on what it is that you should do. My goal is to provide accurate and relatable information - the information that I share with my patients everyday - that can serve as a starting point for your journey with ocular melanoma. The more you know, the more you can engage with your healthcare team, ocular oncologist and have your questions answered. Know that it is possible to thrive after a diagnosis of ocular melanoma - I have seen this countless times. One thing is certain - knowledge is power.
