        Good Morning;

        Thank you for doing this.  I have 2 questions that I hope you can answer.  I have a transformed melanocytoma, medium sized, ciliary body and iris with a little in the choroid.  Had an iridociliaychoroidectomy (sp?) in May that went well.  Do transformed melanocytomas carry the same risk of mets as "regular" OM?  

         

        Secondly, is any type of radiologist fine to read MRIs of the abdomen or are there oncology specialist radiologists?  

         

        Thank you once again for all you do.
