Nurse News: A Niagara Falls Memorial ER Nurse Battles Cancer

How would you feel if you found out you had cancer tumors in your liver, spleen and pancreas? The term "thankful" doesn't immediately come to my mind. But thanks to the knowledge she has gained during her thirty year nursing career, some wonderful friends and an optimistic attitude, that is how Norma Kudela describes her experience with cancer. This according to an article in The Buffalo News titled "Benefits aids nurse battling cancer."

I love articles like this one. According to the article, when Mrs. Kudela's daughter, Heather Kobrin, found out her mother had cancer she felt helpless. Instead of resting on her laurels, though, Mrs. Kobrin organized an auction benefit for her mother resulting in hundreds of people donating to her mother's cause. The show of support has inspired Mrs. Kudela.
