Charlie S: Did you ask your Doc why he referred you to a specialist?

 

Or what kind of specialist?

It’s okay to freak a bit; but look at the facts at hand and not necessarily the internet; and most certainly do not jump to conclusions.

What YOU think is a possibility may not even be in the realm of possibility.

ASK your eye doctor what alarmed him, and why, specifically, did he refer you away and to whom and what for what reason.  He is your doc after all.

Try not to jump to conclusions based on fear……………get facts.

Yes, the waiting sucks, but stay off the internet medical bandwagon and call whatever doc did the referral and ask HIM;  knowledge is power.

And again, it is quite okay to freak; but you MUST work the problem; and sometimes that takes time………..and a big deep breath.

Cheers,

Charlie S

 

Thank you so much for responding

The eye doctor that found the pigment just danced around and wouldn’t tell me anything other than the pigment was large. I saw the image and the pigment seemed light brown, like a bruise. When researching online I learned about choroidal melanoma and choroidal nevus. When I called my doctor back, he just avoided speculating what it could be at all, and just keep saying “I don’t know” and when I mentioned concerns for cancer, he evaded me, which seemed to indicate that was his concern.

I have a terrible feeling.
