Last week I completed my third and hopefully final laser treatment on my right eye. I also completed my first post-diagnosis mets screening without a problem. Just like last time, the whole affair was brief and rather painless. After an ultrasound and some dilating and numbing eye drops, I sat down in a chair and stared straight ahead. You know how people often tell you never to stare straight into a laser pointer? Well...Anyhow, once again I opted to forego the local anesthesia--and it was fine, it hurt a tad more than last time, but probably on par with a dental cleaning. After four minutes of lasering I was done. I return to MSKCC for a checkup in April to assess whether a possible fourth lasering would need to be done to further break up scar tissue. My doctors were once again very, very positive and told me to "get on with life and put this behind me." It's important to take time to celebrate the victories and this feels pretty good.
