Show PostI was dx'd with ocular melanoma in February, at age 59; the same age when my mom was diagnosed with it. She is now 86 and is doing great. She is my inspiration. Genetics show us to have MBD4 variant.
Show Post@peaceplez.bsky.social living with ocular melanoma too. 10 year survivor.
Show Post100%, my treatment for metastatic ocular melanoma would not exist in single payer. Who is complaining about cost? Others do...I don't because I know too many people (like me), who would be dead were it not for the treatment I'm on which....costs a shit ton, and was only FDA approved 2 years ago
Show PostI have ocular melanoma. Only diagnosed this year. I had brachytherapy and will have scans every 6 months. It cost me the cost of transportation to get to the hospital. Free healthcare at point of use is often taken for granted in the UK
