There you can find answers to many of your questions regarding treatment options as well as a list of physicians that treat OM. You can find a printable page on OM quick facts, as well as a printable version of the CURE OM Brochure.

              Hi there, 

              I am very sorry to hear about your recent issues with melanoma. I think that you might have better luck with an answer to your questions from the MPIP forum that can be found here:

              http://www.melanoma.org/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page.

              Another thought would be to use the Melanoma Research Foundations Ask A Nurse Program. Information on that free service can be found here: 

              http://www.melanoma.org/find-support/patient-community/mpip-melanoma-patients-information-page.

              Best of luck to you!

                          Hi Sue, 

                          Thank you very much for posting this!  I didn't have a chance to reply sooner as I have been traveling these past few days.  You are correct to say that this event was a wonderful way to to not only raise awareness for Ocular Melanoma, but to raise funds for it as well.  

                          It was great to have not one, but two teams participating in this event!  The "A Cure In Sight" Team did raise awareness by having the largest team on the premesis (and off as well).  The tentative total for funds raised for CURE OM between the "A Cure In Sight" team and the MRF's CURE OM Team is $10,923.00!!!!  

                          Thank you to everyone that participated in this event!  From those that were physically there, to those that participated at home on their treadmills, as well as those that donated their time, talent, and money!!  We must stand united to find a cure for this disease.  By doing so, great things will happen!
