Niki's Fight to Stick It to Sarcoma

Niki's Fight to Stick It to Sarcoma Niki Berkland is a life-long resident of the Illinois Valley. In August of 2013, Niki was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma bone cancer.

Niki Berkland has been diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma(bone cancer). It was a large mass attached to her lower pelvis. Complete removal of the mass and affected bones and organs was the only way to fight this form of cancer. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy are not effective for Chondrosarcoma. Niki has been cared for by a strong, loving family, amazing group of friends and coworkers, and the wonde

rful doctors and medical facility at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. She traveled to Mayo Clinic to start the process of battling this cancer, with surgery scheduled for October 7th. After a 20+ hour surgery, several serious complications, and over two month stay in the hospital, Niki was sent home mid-December with very little mobility and a huge recovery in front of her. The great news is the cancer was successfully removed! The good news is she continues to improve, slowly, with extensive in-home physical therapy and nursing care. As we can all imagine, medical care and extended illness is a VERY expensive ordeal. This page has been created to show Niki how much love and support she has and to provide information about fund-raising activities.
