Benefit for Natalia Dahl will be held September 2

Natalia Dahl, 32, from Winger, mother of six children was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer in July 2013. She endured a long surgery and 6 rounds of chemo at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

In October 2014, because of the mutation gene BRCA1 (ovarian and cancer gene), she elected to have double mastectomy to reduce and prevent her chances of getting breast cancer. 

Two years following, in September 2016, Natalia received news that her cancer had returned. She was again treated with 6 rounds of chemo therapy and finished her last treatment in March 2017. A short 3 months later, she found out her cancer had once again returned.

Currently, Mrs. Dahl is traveling down to Mayo Clinic, Rochester every week for chemo therapy. She will be doing another 6 rounds of chemo therapy with a schedule of 3 weeks of treatment with a break of every 4th week off, making treatment time around six months if all goes well.

Although they have been fortunate to have the ability to stay with family, the financial burden still lays heavy on Natalia and her family and the road has been long. 

In addition to taking chemotherapy and driving to Rochester almost every week; she is looking at alternate options like supplements to buy that her insurance does not cover. With the returning cancer, this battle will be harder as Natalia has become resistant to chemotherapy. 

Her doctor says she has about a 20% chance of treatment working this time around because of the reoccurrence of the cancer and the cancer adapting to previous treatment and medication.

Please help Natalia to gain a fighting chance to beat cancer again and be there to help her husband raise their 6 beautiful children.

Come support Natalia and her family on: Saturday, September 2, 2017 from 5:00 pm -9:00 pm at the Fosston High School.
