In this episode of the Eye Believe Podcast, we’re joined by Wendy Carpenter, a metastatic ocular melanoma patient who is currently NED (No Evidence of Disease).
Wendy shares her personal experience using ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) testing as part of her ongoing surveillance and care. She discusses how this blood-based testing helps monitor disease activity, informs conversations with her medical team, and provides another tool for navigating life after treatment.
In this conversation, Wendy opens up about:
- What ctDNA testing is and how it works
- How she incorporates ctDNA into her surveillance plan
- The emotional realities of monitoring after metastatic disease
- Living with hope, uncertainty, and gratitude as an NED survivor
This episode offers a patient-centered perspective on an evolving area of cancer care and highlights how new technologies are helping empower patients in their journeys.
🎧 Tune in for an honest and hopeful conversation about survivorship, monitoring, and living beyond metastatic ocular melanoma. 💙
