My husband has eye cancer. Inside. Its grown over the last 1.5 years. We went to OHSU a teaching and research hospital in Portland OR. He has four options:
1. Remove the eye as a preventative measure against ocular melanoma. NOPE
2. The tumor is leaking fluid on each of the long sides. Get eyeball shots with a med to dry that fluid up, so she can look at it more closely in three months. Will decrease his vision some.
3. Put a bottle cap stitched to the eye with radiation beads in the cap. Radiate the tumor for a week. Will decrease vision alot, but hopefully tumor shrinks. Lots of vision loss. NOPE
4. Use a laser blah blah, but its experimental and not in full tests yet. NOPE.
Hubs chose #2. His first eye shot is at the end of the month. I don't remember if they are weekly, or what. It was a whole bunch to listen to and she talked fast.
So fast that hubs told son that they will be putting a needle in his eye to withdraw the water. I softly corrected him. We go back in July to see how the tumor looks. Obviously he'll be part of this Doc's research since he's got a Bum Luck diagnosis.
Dear Lord: I don't want to lose my husband to melanoma. I've been prepared for a few years for him to slide into dementia slowly, not be consumed by a non treatable cancer. Thank you, dear Lord.
edited to add> its a one in one million chance of this ocular cancer. Doc is the one that called it Bum Luck.
