Coping with Ocular Melanoma as a Family: 2024 Eye on Mental Health Session 4
Thursday Feb 15, 2024
Thursday Feb 15, 2024
Ocular Melanoma is a family disease. It doesn't just affect one person - having this diagnosis, the fear of the unknown can affect everyone from immediate family, friends, and more. Learning how to support each other with varying needs and boundaries amidst your diagnosis is worth the listen to this unique patient panel, led by patient and therapist, Carol McColl.
Carol McColl has worked as a licensed professional counselor for 16 years, specializing in trauma recovery. She is also the author of The Single Mom’s Devotional (Revell, 2009.) Carol lives in Dallas, TX, with her husband Angus, their adorable mini-goldendoodle Barney, and her 94-year old father, “Grampy." Carol’s large step-family includes eight adult daughters, with various spouses and partners, and 10 grandchildren. Carol was diagnosed with OM in July 2018, and had plaque therapy in August 2018. In her free time, Carol enjoys coffee with friends, baking, crocheting, Bible study, serving at her church, travel, and quiet weekends at Holly Lake in East TX.
