We help people affected by ocular melanoma to have the support & information they need

Story


I was formally diagnosed with a large rare malignant ocular melanoma (eye cancer ) September 2021, but I’ve known something wasn’t right since the end of July 21. I rapidly lost sight in my right eye as the tumour caused detachment of my retina. I had my eye removed in October as the tumour was too large for any other treatment . I am adjusting to a new normal . 

OcuMelUK support anyone affected by eye cancer . They also provide education to health care professionals and raise public awareness of this rare cancer . Their information and specialist support has been so invaluable in helping me cope with my diagnosis.

Ocular melanoma is so rare and the prognosis often so overwhelming, that patients frequently report feeling totally isolated. We advocate for change by uniting stakeholders against ocular melanoma cancers so people receive the treatment, information and support they need.
