Common symptoms while plaque is in for choroidal melanoma

Common symptoms while plaque is in for choroidal melanoma

My brother is currently having brachytherapy to remediate a choroidal melanoma.  This is day 2 1/2.  He is still experiencing some seepage that is somewhat bloody, and the area around his eye is beginning to really swell.  Also, the seepage dries sometimes and becomes hard, which causes pain when it gets caught in the eye.   I realize that some discomfort, etc. is expected.  I'm just checking to see if all of this is "normal" for this type of procedure.

It probably is.  Check with your surgeon each case is different.
