I Woke Up With My Vision Blacked Out - Sasha | Ocular/Uveal Melanoma | The Patient Story

Описание: Sasha was in her late twenties when she began experiencing unusual eye pressure and headaches. With no visible issues in her vision, doctors initially dismissed her concerns. Later, she was diagnosed with ocular melanoma. Her life changed the moment she learned the tumor had destroyed a third of her eye, requiring immediate surgery during the COVID-19 lockdown.

In this cancer vlog, Sasha shares her emotional journey from strange symptoms to losing her eye, navigating misdiagnoses, and undergoing intense treatments across Europe. She opens up about the mental toll, her identity as a 3D artist with one eye, and the hope she found through advocacy and second opinions. Her story is one of courage, persistence, and reclaiming control.

Thank you, Sasha, for sharing your story to help others.
