Sandra started to notice a shadow in her vision and went to her local opticians. The next day, she was referred to the Royal Victoria Hospital where it was confirmed she had the rare form of cancer
A woman from Co Antrim is calling for local treatment options to be made available after being diagnosed with eye cancer.
"I started to notice a small shadow in the top of my eye which was just coming and going," Sandra explained to Belfast Live. Upon receiving the shocking diagnosis, Sandra was told she would have to go to England for treatment, with options including Liverpool or Southampton. "The last time I was there, I had chemotherapy at 1pm, you can't see anything and have to wear these big massive black glasses. I had to walk around Liverpool for six hours waiting on my flight in that condition. It's ridiculous.
"I went for my check up last September and it had started to crust, I went in March and it was starting to shrink. Then I went back on September 15 to be told my cancer is growing again. "I know it's a rare cancer, but it's like there's nobody to help you when you get this in Northern Ireland. In 2022, it's a disgrace."
