Join fellow omie, Anne Osborn, as she helps patients navigate "What we can expect of our friends after an OM diagnosis."

 

Welcome our friend Anne Osborn helping us to understand What we can expect of our friends after an OM diagnosis.

Anne Osborn, Author, as a teen grew up in the shadows of OM when her mother died of OM. Forty years later, she was diagnosed with OM, Class 2.

 

Anne spent her career in human services, trained as a psychotherapist. Her specialties include initially being a children’s therapist specializing in needs impacting the ability to learn in education. Simultaneously she began leading an emergency team for law enforcement and fire personnel over nearly three decades, ‘when bad things happen to them, we go in’.

 

Managing her stress was with long distance, both in running and bicycling. Though now, as a Master Gardener time is spent in Nature. Her passion outside of family and friends includes travel, writing and being of service.

Her  book, Coping with Ocular Melanoma: A Toolbox is published with proceeds going to ACIS.
