A Cure in Sight is joined by rare, iris melanoma survivor, Ron Cribb.
Ron is from Auckland, New Zealand, and was diagnosed at age 48 with an iris melanoma in September of 2021. He had a very unique procedure done where a portion of the iris (the colored section) of his eye was surgically removed, and he has now spent 9 months adjusting to different vision, as well as a prosthetic iris to cover what is literally a hole in his eye. He hopes by sharing his journey to connect with even just one other patient who has experienced both iris melanoma, and this unique procedure for removal of the tumor.
Rob continues living fully with his family, refusing to sweat the small stuff along the way.
You can find him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ron.cribb
Or in the Man-Cave Facebook Group for ocular melanoma patients: https://www.facebook.com/groups/474291186483865/?ref=share
