What is it like to face two very different cancer diagnoses—one common and one incredibly rare?

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're bringing together three women who know this experience firsthand. Barbara Johnson, Sharlene Carlson, and Elizabeth join The Eye Believe Podcast to share their personal journeys with both breast cancer and ocular melanoma.

From the differences in resources and support communities to navigating scan anxiety, treatment, and life after diagnosis, these women offer an honest look at the challenges and lessons that come with facing two cancers.

They also share what helps them through the difficult days, how their perspectives have changed, and the importance of finding people who truly understand what you're going through. 💕

Whether you've experienced one cancer diagnosis, multiple diagnoses, or love someone who has, this is a conversation worth hearing.

🎗️ Help us spread awareness this October by sharing this episode!

💙 World Hospice and Palliative Care Day 💙

Today, we recognize the importance of compassionate care, comfort, and dignity for individuals facing serious illnesses and the families who love them.

At A Cure in Sight, we know that living with ocular melanoma involves more than medical treatments. It’s about quality of life, emotional well-being, and having the support needed to navigate every stage of the journey.

💙 Palliative care is not just end-of-life care. It can be provided alongside cancer treatments to help manage symptoms, ease discomfort, and improve quality of life at any stage of a serious illness.

Today, we honor the dedicated hospice and palliative care professionals who provide comfort, compassion, and support when it matters most.

Everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and cared for. 💙

What really goes into creating a prosthetic eye—and what can patients expect after eye loss?

On this episode of The Eye Believe Podcast, Danet sits down with Sara Moslehi, ocularist and anaplastologist at Art in Soul Prosthetics, to take us behind the scenes of ocular prosthetics.

From hand-painting and custom fitting to the emotional side of adjusting to a prosthetic eye, Sara shares how art, science, and compassionate care come together to help patients feel comfortable and confident again.

This is a great episode for anyone facing enucleation, living with a prosthetic eye, supporting someone through eye loss, or simply curious about the incredible work of an ocularist. 💙
