New Cancer Treatment - Hepzato Kit

In this episode, Kensi interviews Danet about her journey this year since April 2025 with an FDA approved treatment called Hepzato Kit - a treatment of chemo to the entire liver that is unique to her cancer only so far. (hopefully one day it'll be used to treat other types of cancer in the liver too!)  Tune in to hear about her experiences so far (2 treatments in) and also her recovery, some of the things she's learned to advocate for, and more.  If you too have metastatic uveal melanoma, please help the community out and share this episode with someone who might need it to learn more or to just understand more of this treatment. You can also learn more by heading to the Eye Believe Podcast or the A Cure in Sight Youtube Channel for episodes from medical professionals explaining this treatment and more about it.  How does Hepzato Work?

Strategic Incompetence - aka Choose What to Bomb

Hey friends! We're back! We took a bit of a break during the holidays, and then with Danet's treatment schedule going a bit haywire, we just had to slow down in the podcast department.  In this episode, Kensi and Danet chat about a concept from a book, Finish, by Jon Acuff, called "strategic incompetence" and how this has helped to just show up to life with more resilience, and presence.  Be sure to subscribe, share, and let us know what else you'd like to hear about!

Cancer Recurrence and Insurance Battles

In this episode, Danet and Kensi talk through Jan - March of Danet's battle with insurance for coverage of histotripsy for her liver tumors found on Dec 31 2024.  This vulnerable episode is an attempt to give voice to just how much Danet and her family went through in the month of January alone in just fighting for healthcare and treatment.  The good news is that since this point, an official BCBS insurance approval did come through widely, and the procedure for treatment that Danet has had more recently, called Hepzato, IS being covered by insurance.  Danet's Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/danet.peterson https://www.instagram.com/the.danet.peterson/ A Cure In Sight: https://acureinsight.org/?v=324d8a1d3f81 Kensi's Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/Brett.Kensi/about/ https://www.instagram.com/kkevans13/ Brighter Community Resources: https://brightercommunity.org/
