"Before joining the "Navigating Ocular Melanoma" group sessions, I was feeling so overwhelmed and anxious about my future.

"Taking the Navigating Ocular Melanoma course was one of the best decisions that I have made since my diagnosis. I have learned so much valuable information that has helped me become very knowledgeable on Ocular melanoma. Dr. Tara McCannel explains the many aspects about the rare cancer and provides you with tools to help you along your journey such as relaxation techniques, meditation, nutrition, and how to navigate the heathcare system to get the care you need.

This experience is designed to address all of that. Over the course of 4 weeks, we’ll meet live on Zoom, twice per week (Sunday 10AM PST and Wednesday 1PM PST), for a total of 8 hours together. During that time, you’ll gain more than just information—you’ll gain improved clarity and be able to access practical tools to use well beyond the end of the program.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
You’ll learn how to reduce anxiety and fear, especially around scan results and appointments.
You’ll have a space to ask questions, get clear answers, and feel supported—not just by me, but by others in the group who are walking this same path.
You’ll develop the skills to process challenging thoughts and emotions so they don’t have power over you.
And perhaps most importantly, you’ll walk away with a better plan for navigating the road ahead—so you can feel more prepared and live your best life.
You’ll have tools to help navigate uncertainty, manage anxiety, and help face the unknown with a stronger sense of clarity and confidence. You’ll have skills that you can apply to the rest of your health journey—and even other parts of your life.
