My mom died from this exact same (super rare) cancer. Ocular melanoma almost always metastasizes to the liver. For a ocular melanoma survivor, a liver check every 6 months is highly recommended. It seems his tumor in his eye had the mutation that makes it very unlikely for it to metastasize (5%), the other half of tumors have a much higher rate (66%). Either way the metastasize will usually happen within the first 10 years after discovering the original tumor.
