A Cure in Sight is joined by fellow OM patient, Clay Butler, diagnosed with a choroidal ocular melanoma on New Year’s Eve, 2021. He opted for enucleation on 2/22/22.
In this episode, Clay shares his story, including the discovery and diagnosis of his eye tumor, the treatment options he weighed and why, his enucleation journey thus far, and what is his focus presently.
He shares empowering mindsets that help in navigating many phases of this diagnosis; one such thought being the question: What am I missing out on, vs what I can DO about this?
His episode is jam packed with insights and ideas.
You can get to know Clay a little more through some of his work in the links below, and connect with him on Facebook, or Instagram (@twilight.ninja).
