    An eye ultrasound?  Whacky!  I had one on my balls and I thought that was uncomfortable - but on you eye?  Odd.
    Great attitude and if you worshipped​ the Flying Spaghetti Monster (like me) you would know that Pirates are the closest beings to god...so a patch could be a life changing thing in a good way!  ;)
    Best of luck!

    Looks like I've hijacked Rob's thread.  :giggle:  At least I found a way to tell ya'll about this.

    As someone that is blind in one eye, it really doesn't matter....of course I still have the eye and nobody can tell so perhaps that doesn't make you feel any better.  Hopefully the radiation worked and your eye will be fine.  So glad you caught it early -- how does one discover such a seemingly random and rare form early on?  Were you having headaches or something?
    That actually does make me feel better.  I'm trying to imagine life with one eye.   And even though I joke about the eye patch, I've looked at prosthetic eyes online and they are amazingly realistic. If it comes to that, I think I'll be OK.

    The tumor was discovered because I started having a problem with my eye.  I was seeing "flashes and floaters," as they're called, strange flashes of light and black spots.  I probably would have ignored it for quite a while but several years ago a friend had a detached retina and I knew those were the symptoms.  You're supposed to take care of that immediately or you risk losing your sight, so I called my eye doctor and was worked in that afternoon.  When the doc told me ocular melanoma, I thought he was nuts.  He referred me to an ocular oncologist in Dallas and got me an appointment the next day.  I had 3 hours of crazy tests on my eye, including an ultrasound!  Then they showed me a 3D illustration of the tumor and gave me the diagnosis.  I asked how I could get melanoma in my eye, since I think of that as skin cancer.  Turns out it's a cancer that attacks the cells that produce pigment.  In the eye, it usually happens to people of northern European descent (as I told my co-workers, it's a Caucasian thing!) and has nothing to do with sun exposure. 

    BTW I'm still having flashes and floaters.  They're caused by the tumor pressing on my retina.

    Oh and...

    FUCK CANCER!
    HELL YES!

    You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the thoughts, vibes, hugs sent my way.  It means more than I can say.
    Rob, thanks for the support and encouragement you've given me.  I'm gonna give you your thread back now. 



    YOU are awesome, Who P.

    (and, despite - or maybe because of - the what in the fuck would Wob do thread, he is one of my favorite stand-up people here)

    Shave your pubes off beforehand and you don't need to worry about it.

    I dunno, had the same thing, that warm gel they applied first was kind of comfortable. :i_dunno:


    Worst part was after in the waiting room, all the other patients (shockingly all pregnant women) got these nice pictures of their babies, all I got was confirmation of a tumor.

    Sorry for you -- I got the all clear.  What made it most uncomfortable was that the young lady who was working on me was pretty attractive.  There is nothing erotic about getting yourself professionally checked for nut cancer....but lube, nut play, and attractive women typically promote one response from me.
    Just thinking about Roseanne Barr naked the entire time took care of that, never got the reaction I was afraid to get, but the woman was trying to make me comfortable by talking to me and that made it somehow more awkward.
