After intermittent left-eye pain, Allison Dashow was ultimately diagnosed with choroidal melanoma, a rare eye cancer affecting six in one million Americans annually. A second opinion led her to plaque brachytherapy on June 30, 2022; six months later, doctors deemed the tumor dead and she remains NED, though she now manages radiation retinopathy with injections every five weeks. As she raises awareness and leans on the Melanoma Research Foundation community, Dashow will receive the group’s Courage Award this month; interventional radiologist Dr. Tate Kirk will also be honored for work with metastatic cases.
