so where do you go when you know that you're nowhere?

the blood values are good as well. actually they are very good, nothing is off track. dr m. at the basel eye hospital is not sure what to think of my case. it's doesn't seem clear right now what kind of tumor it is. after all eye tumors, choroidal melanoma most likely in my case, are very rare: about 6 cases out of 1'000'000 exams.

facts which are typical for choroidal melanoma in my case:

• the size, it's (very) large (1.3 x 1.1 cm, choroid base about 2.3 cm)
  
• it's pigmented (colored). apparently a typical sign for cm (choroidal melanoma)
  

facts which are untypical for cm in my case:

• there is no detach of the retina at all. very untypical for cm of this size
  
• on both the pet-scan and the mri-scan there is no sign of malignant tumor activity
  
• the tumor is extremely well seperated from the healthly parts of the eye
  

so what to do? dr m. suggests - after speaking to prof. w. in germany - that i need to go to lausanne to double-check my right eye with prof. z. and dr. s. apparently nobody in europe has seen more eye tumors than prof. z.
one option would be to wait for a month and see if the tumor changes at all. i don't like that idea, i want to know what's going on and agree to travel to lausanne in a weeks time.
