What Does A Tumor Behind The Eye Indicate?
my son has been diagnosed with a melanoma tumor behind his eye since October, the facility that he is at just got him to a eye specialist this month, and they are saying they have to remove his eye now. does this kind of tumor progress into something untreated? If they would have treated him in October, would it been a chance he would still be able to keep his eye?
