Danet Peterson is a devoted mother, wife, daughter, friend, and an incredible source of strength to everyone who knows her.

Earlier this week, Danet completed her first round of radiation treatment in her ongoing battle with stage 4 metastatic uveal melanoma. As she and her family navigate this next chapter, they are facing the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that come with living with advanced cancer.

Four years ago, Danet's ocular melanoma metastasized to her liver. This past year has included monthly treatments and ongoing monitoring, with a much-needed break from intensive therapies this spring. While recent scans showed that her liver remains stable and free of new disease, they also revealed several small areas of cancer in her bones and a lymph node. Her medical team is now exploring treatment options including targeted radiation, possible surgery or ablation, and additional supportive therapies. Unfortunately, treatment options for metastatic uveal melanoma outside of the liver are extremely limited, making every available resource and treatment opportunity especially important.

In addition to her conventional cancer care, Danet works closely with an integrative oncology team to support her immune system, bone health, recovery, and overall quality of life. These treatments are an essential part of her care plan, but many are not covered by insurance and must be paid out of pocket.

Expected costs for the remainder of the year include:

• Supplements and supportive therapies: approximately $300 per month

• IV immune-support treatments: approximately $200 per treatment

• Immune-stimulating injections administered at home: approximately $200 per vial

• Specialized laboratory testing not covered by insurance: approximately $350 per round

• Integrative oncology appointments: approximately $400 per visit, with at least four more appointments anticipated this year

These expenses add up quickly and come on top of the everyday costs associated with cancer treatment, appointments, and caring for a family.

Because of treatment-related side effects and dietary restrictions, meals often require specific ingredients and preparation. While a Meal Train has been organized to help meet some of those needs, financial support through this fundraiser will help cover ongoing medical expenses and provide flexibility for nutrition, treatment-related costs, and other needs as they arise.

If you'd like to support Danet and her family, every contribution makes a difference. To give an idea of the impact your donation can have:

• $100 helps provide several important supplements that support Danet's immune system and bone health

• $200 helps cover one IV immune-support treatment

• $350 helps cover specialized laboratory testing not covered by insurance

• $400 helps cover one visit with her integrative oncologist

• $500 helps cover an office visit and an IV treatment

Most importantly, your donation helps ease the financial burden on Danet and her family so they can focus their energy where it belongs: on healing, treatment, and time together.

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Danet and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Every donation, share, message, meal, and act of kindness means more than words can express.

Thank you for helping surround Danet with love and support during this difficult season.
