Support Dian Perrault's Battle with Cancer

Dian Perrault is a wife, mom, amazing grandmother, sister, and sister-in-law. Dian works at Rainy Lake Medical Center and her coworkers describe her as dedicated, hardworking and loves talking about her granddaughter. Dian has the biggest heart, is kind, loving, fun and the most even-keeled person around.

On April 18, 2025, Dian’s life changed after finding out she had a brain cyst. Off to Duluth she went only to find out she also has lung cancer. Dian had brain surgery on April 22, 2025, and is home now recovering from the surgery. The brain cyst has now been diagnosed as metastatic small cell carcinoma which spread from the small cell lung cancer. Dian will be starting radiation treatment for the brain and chemotherapy for the lung cancer soon.

Dian is the main source of income for her family, and it is unknown if she will be able to return to work. Dian is my sister-in-law, and I wanted to do something to help make things easier while she recovers and receives treatment. It’s hard to focus on recovery when thinking of finances. Money raised will be used for medical bills, traveling to treatments and monthly household bills.

Thank you for reading Dian's story. If you choose to help Dian in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.
