My mom
I've been really debating whether I should post this or not, but since this is my journal this is something that I need to write about. During Thanksgiving my mom called me telling me that she was having pains in her legs and having a hard time breathing. They had done a ct scan on her lungs and they found a mass that they were going to biopsy in the coming weeks. She then called me back and told me that they found a tumor in her leg that they were pretty sure was cancerous. After a long month of waiting for small town doctors to get her in she was in so much pain that my dad had to take her to the hospital. While there they finally took a bone scan of her whole body and a biopsy of her lungs. Today she was able to meet with an oncologist and get some results. She was diagnosed with stage four cancer. It's in her lungs, outside her stomach, in her legs, and throughout her bones. We have started a blog for her if you'd like to read more details. It is normanatividad.blogspot.com For those of you who know her please remember her in your prayers.

Your mom is truly a wonderful person Kuli! I am sorry that your family has to endure this right now. She is in our thoughts and prayers. We love you Grandma Norma!
Kuli I am so sorry. I can not imagine what you are going through but you have my prayers. Mitch told us last night, I think, and I have had a knot in my stomach. Let me know if there is any way I can help. Love you guys!
Oh my goodness. I am soo sorry. Like Margo, since I read this, I have a HUGE knot in my stomach. I know words can't express what you are going through. I love your Mom! She is such a caring, thoughtful and loving person. We will totally keep her and your whole family in our prayers.
If there is anything we can do let us know. Love ya, Katie
I am so sorry to hear what your family is going through. Your whole family will be in my families prayers. I am glad you are with her right now.
Kuliana, I am SO SORRY that you & your family are going through this. If there is anything, and I mean anything, that we can do, please call us!!! We too, are praying for you and your family. If you need to talk to anyone, day or night, give me a call. Sometimes it does help to vent, cry, or just talk about it.
We love ya'!
Jared told me what was going on a few days ago. Your family is in our prayers.
I wanted to write you, but didn't know how to break the ice about it. So seeing the post opened it up for me to say that I am totally affected by this. Your mom is AMAZING!! I loved growing up across the street from you and your family. Such an example of an eternal family. Your mom radiated kindness. I look back on our childhood and cannot think of any moment when I saw a flaw in your mom. And you know what, I think her daughters (and sons) are ending up just like her.
Please tell her hello for me. Please tell her how much I love her and appreciate her example in my life at a young and impressionable age. Those years were hard for me, and Norma was always so kind.
Enjoy the holiday with your family! You are all so loved and being watched over. Lots of love from our home to yours!
Sweetie...I am so sad to hear that! Mom's are the best!! Enjoy every moment with her you can and if you need anything know that I am hear for you. Hugs,
Kuli, I've been thinking about you and your family this week. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, and I hope you're able to have a truly wonderful time together this Christmas.
I just wanted to say thank you to all the love, concern, and support we are receiving at this time. We feel so blessed and know that whatever happens is the Lord's will. All 7 of us have been able to be with my mom this Christmas and we are making the best of it. She's is definitely a wonderful women. A women of extreme faith.
Kuli, Please know that you and your family are in our prayers.
Hi Kuli, I don't know if you remember me from EA but I just happened to look at your blog off of April's and I just felt I had to let you know that I know exactly what you are going through right now! My mother-in-law passed away from cancer four years ago. She was diagnosed when my husband was a teenager...was told she would only live maybe two years...her form of cancer is terminal with no cure...and she lived seven years. I don't know your family but your Mom is definitely in our prayers, as well as your entire family! I can't imagine the emotions you must be enduring! If there is anything at all I can do please let me know and if you need doctor's names or something like that I can find that out! http://stephanville.com/ams

Kuli, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. When you told me she was not doing well, I didn't think it was to this extent. You are all in our thoughts and prayers! Please let me know if you need any help with anything. Love you!
I am so sorry Kuliana. That is so sad. Please know that your mom and family are in our prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
I know there really are no words that help, but I am so sorry. I hope and pray that your family will be comforted and that all will be well.
I am so sorry to hear about this! She has always been so sweet and I remember seeing her and your dad bike riding around town while I was growing up! I love your parents to pieces!
Sorry to hear about your mom, we will keep your families in our prayers.
We will be praying for your wonderful mother. I didn't know her that well but Jamie always told me how awesome she is. I wish the best for your family. My heart is with you guys.
You will all be in our prayers. Please let me know if there is anything we can do.
Gosh Kuli I am so sorry to hear that! That must be really hard! We will keep her and you guys in our prayers!
Kuliana, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. My dad was diagnosed with cancer about 3 years ago. I thought my world was over when we got the news. He has gone though many treatments and WE are trying to keep up with him. I am so sorry you and your family have to have the worry and see her sick, its not fun nor is it going to be easy as I am sure you are finding out. Just keep in mind, it will only make you stronger. We will keep her in our prayers.
Kuli,
I was just thinking about you guys. I am so sad about your Mom. It seems like we've been gone forever. I'll call you soon. We will keep her in our prayers.
