Unfortunately, we received some surprising and disappointing news from are appointment with the neuroopthamologist. The growth on my right eye is cancer. He recommended immediate surgical removal of the growth .. and then to run tests to see if it is of malignant nature. If so, then there are a number of options I need to do some chemo maybe by drops or by usual means. It could also mean that they will need to take out the entire eyeball to save it from spreading to other parts of my body. (much like breast cancer often leads to the removal of the entire breast)
The surgery needed to take the nodule out can be done on an outpatient basis. Where they will leave a few stitches and it will be sore for a week or so with blurred vision.
We are kinda numb right now. My biggest concern is any loss of my vision .. that it wouldn't happen at all. We will keep you updated as we know things like dates of surgery or any other information.
