I have not been on these boards in years–but am back with a new concern. Its beginning to look like every 4 years when this begins to fade something resurfaces to remind me…I aint in control. Perhaps this post is more the cathartic need to write out my concerns hoping that another has been down this road before than any practical help at this point.
I have been diagnosed twice with stage 1 melanomas (2007 and 2011) on different sites; Plus 5 major dysplastic exisicions; 3 minors and countless biopsies over these past 8 years, I have sadly become numb and routine to these procedures. However, always grateful how "minor" the melanomas were and straightforwad the treamtent plans (my prayers to those who have far more severe melanomas).
But now that we have basically run out of moles on the skin to biopsy, my eye doctor did the old "hmmmmmm" while giving me my annual exam. She then said there is a small choroidal nevus that needs to be looked at in 2-3 months to see if there is any change.
Highly likely its just a freckle…but the old anxiety of "have they found something" was reawaken. Not to mention the fact that this one is in my eyeball so I cannot obsessively watch over these 3 months.
So wondering if there are others who may tend towards a dysplasia nevus syndrome every gotten one in the eyeball? Since they cannot biopsy (can they?) an eyeball freckle to figure out what it is, what can be done?
