I saw Dr. McCannel yesterday precisely for this issue and feel I am in good hands. Glad to find this video for a more detailed explanation of what's ahead for me.
Thank you for posting this presentation. Helped me understand my current situation and preparing for conversations as we diagnose my eye.
The Detailed expertise in presenting the information is important, it is clearly applied as well as explained.
Thank you! It was very informative
Thank you for such a concise and holistic presentation

Hello Tara MCCANNEL… FYI…McCannel is a unique name we are all related. My grandad got rid of the second L in McCannel just before he died in 1953. I came across your channel by accident I just had to stop and say hi to my cousin that I never knew I had. This is awesome and very very cool. peace from Campbell River Vancouver Island ….Bill McCannel
Thank you
I have a melanoma tumor in my right eye. It was 9.7x13 point something back Dec of 2020. After surgery of a radiation patch i noticed blurry and multi vision in my left eye and till this day the doctors cant answer me . they think theres nothing wrong with my left eye but its been blurry and multi vision . its very hard to text you as one right eye is blind and the other eye im having this problem . i have been tested for eye glasses but i still get the same afect and my doctor has pulled. My licens.
this was a great presentation. i am not sure about the silicone, i was never given that in my treatment plan. i have a larger tumor surrounding my optic nerve. i had the radiation therapy and some injections but i have almost no vision in my eye and we discuss removing the eye a lot as the radiation treatment didnt do what was necessary. so now we wait for metastasis. it is crazy. and no one seems to get how serious this is. there are so few of us dealing with this and not very much research at all.
Can you please post the links for the studies on the Vitrectomy and Silicone oil?
Hello. I have been told i have a mole on back of my eye, i have seen flashes more regularly blurry vision and the coloured specks for even longer. Im just wondering, can it be just a mole and not a tumor, and if its just a mole will my eye sight get worse or do they try to shrink the mole from getting any bigger? Im waiting to see the next eye doctor. I didn't ask many questions as I was in shock when i was told i have a mole.
Ah, except Dr. McCannel told me they're no longer using Iodine for brachytherapy, but rather Palladium.
Seems to be a sales pitch for UCLA patch therapy and doesn't really discuss proton beam therapy in detail , while the proton beam may be the best option as it is better able to localize the treatment.
We are in UK at Sheffield hospital and we were told that proton beam is better and also were advised against biopsy as “it might seed” … so, you are right about the sale speech for UCLA patch therapy
Is pigmentation always ocular cancer

Presentation needs to be more visible. We don’t need to see the presenter.
