          Ocular melanoma is very very rare and not related to cutaneous (skin) melanoma. I would not worry as much that your eye freckle is melanoma. It is always good to get an eye exam anyway. Nodules in lungs are very very common in everyone and majority of the time are not cancerous. What depth was your melanoma, what stage?
