Did you develop a second cancer AFTER being diagnosed with #ocularmelanoma?

"PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY: The way someone thinks about themselves and their body can change almost immediately after getting a cancer diagnosis. This study is

Part 1 of this study is a recorded virtual interview using ZOOM lasting
approximately 20 to 60 minutes. An optional Part 2 of this study is a virtual participant Focus Group moderated by the principal investigator."
