Bio	I was diagnosed in 2016 with ocular melanoma at the age of 21. About two years ago, I decided to become a peer support advocate for teens/young adults diagnosed with OM. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you are newly diagnosed or know of someone who would like to be added to a group chat with other OM patients similar in age.
