Why support OcuMel UK?
We are the only charity in the UK who are dedicated to supporting people with this rare cancer but we need to extend our work to find a cure for this disease.
Whilst some research does is taking place, we believe this should be more focused with the patient’s needs at the heart of it. We hope to lead this work by this summer as we have people depending on us.
A – Will help us continue our work in supporting patients and their family members.
B – Will enable us to support access to MRI’s and work on areas our members have brought to our attention.
C – Will help us employ dedicated helpline nurses to support people throughout their journey, over the phone and in clinic.
We ultimately want to lead research and so appreciate everyone’s efforts to help us find a cure – fast!
