Hi all,

To cut a long story short on my very first recent eye check up at a reputable Optometrist (my GP did warn me in so many words there are some dodgy ones, and she highly recommended this Optometrist), ... amongst the checkup being done the Optometrist told me he looking obvious in hiding his concern that he found a ' black spot ' behind my right eye and that when i come in to pick up my reading glasses this week (yes apparently it's common when you reach about 45 to be getting reading glasses - OMG i never felt so old when he told me this ) anyhow he will place drops in my eyes and take photo's of it and hopefully gets results of what it is (meaning if it's eye cancer) ...

My question is has anyone here or someone you know very well (sorry no friend of friend stories) been told during a check up they have a black spot and what was the outcome (and what happened after that) ??

After myself having a close call with breast cancer which resulted in surgery at 34, and then another close call with skin cancer last December where i had chunks taken out of my arm, i'm just hoping this is another 'C word ' bullet i can dodge again

TIA for any helpful advice
