In memory of Natalie Jessie Balic

By Julie Balic

In memory of a beloved daughter, granddaughter, niece, and sister.

At 17 years old, Natalie Jessie Balic was diagnosed with Epithelioid sarcoma, which is a rare and aggressive cancer that developed in her left leg. The cause of this cancer is still unknown and there is no long-term cure. At the beginning of her journey, no one knew what was wrong with Natalie. For 11 weeks, she saw several doctors, spoke with several specialists, had taken several tests, and was sent to three different hospitals without knowing the exact cause of her pain. With each week that went by, Natalie ended up being misdiagnosed not once, but three times. It was not until 11th of November 2020; would the results of a 2nd biopsy detect the disease. From there, Natalie underwent surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and trial tablets. However, her cancer was so complex and became too uncontrollable that it had already spread. Unfortunately, Natalie lost her battle on the 29th of May 2021. 

Natalie was a brave and beautiful soul. She remained positive and fought until the very end. She will always have a very special place in our hearts. We would like to thank the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, all the doctors, nurses, and volunteers, as well as Remi the therapy dog for their support during Natalie's journey. 

Please donate to help fund sarcoma research.

She will never be forgotten, she never could be, I wish that we could’ve gotten more time but in the years I knew her I loved her so much. The joy she brought can never be replaced. Thank you so much for bringing her into our lives, we were blessed to have known her.
