“My name is Anna Malloch, I am an OM survivor. I was diagnosed in April of 2020 right when covid lockdown hit. I was 19 years old in my freshman year at Auburn University. About a month into lockdown and the transition to online classes I noticed that my vision was starting to fade in my left eye and noticing flashers. I was able to get an appointment with my primary eye doctor the next Monday. From there I was sent to a retina specialist in Montgomery that afternoon. Who then referred me to a doctor in Atlanta and I was there within two days. This is where we were able to find that the mass was completely solid and was then told I had ocular melanoma. Luckily, we caught it early enough to be able to have the option of a radiation plaque which I did the next week. And from what we can see I have made a full recovery and the tumor and reduced to over half of its size.
