Hello,

I've now become a member of a club that i never wanted to join!! After losing both of my parents to cancer I really can't believe that this is happening.

Just last week I was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma (eye tumour). I am due to have plaque radiotherapy in the coming weeks and would love to hear from anyone who has been through this before. Of course i've trawled the internet already on numerous occassions, hoping to receive helpful information but would love to hear if anyone has had this type of tumour or been through this type of radiation. To say i'm scared would be an understatement so would love to hear some first hand experience of this.

Thanks in advance!
