One year ago, January 30, 2019, I began a new chapter in my life when I was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma. I call it a chapter because the moment itself doesn’t define me, but it is an important part of my life story. To celebrate my Canciversary, World Cancer Day and Rare Disease Day, I want to share my story. I hope this video brings awareness to eye cancer, particularly Ocular Melanoma. I also hope it inspires people to make their eye health a priority and get their eyes dilated each year. For the OM warriors and Ommies that are newly diagnosed, I hope my story may be a source of encouragement for you. EYE believe in a CURE and this is my story.
