Patient Video — Jon's story: How did you find out you had metastatic uveal melanoma?

Jon shares that after years of regular scans following his original uveal melanoma diagnosis, a routine MRI found a small tumor in his liver, showing the cancer had spread. Because his metastatic uveal melanoma was caught early, he was able to receive targeted liver treatments, join a clinical trial, and later use additional therapies to manage tumors in other parts of his body.
