Diagnosed with OM?
HERE ARE SOME QUICK TIPS:
Choose a specialist who regularly treats OM. Find a physician and treatment team who have experience treating ocular melanoma to ensure you have the most informed and up-to-date care. For a list of specialists who treat OM, visit cureom.org . Know what you’re up against. Advances in research allow doctors to predict the aggressiveness of an eye tumor. Talk to your specialist about your options, including a biopsy prior to treatment. Be your own advocate. Treatment guidelines currently do not exist for follow-up frequency or type of care once the tumor in the eye has been treated. Being educated on the latest research and treatment options enables you to work with your treatment team to identify the follow-up option that is best for you.
