I was diagnosed 3 years ago this month with Ocular Melanoma - I know the feeling
A tumor in the uvea of my left eye was killed by a radiation plaque sewn to my eyeball for 4 days. I am still metastasis free, but Ocular Melanoma has a way of metastasizing years after the tumor is dead. A genetic test of my tumor showed BAP1 mutation which means a 72% of metastasis withing 5 years. I was going quarterly for scans the first two years and now every six months for 3 more years and then annually after that for as long as I live.

I know the feeling of NED (No evidence of metatastic disease). Congrats!
