Abigail Mendoza has been diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer called neuroblastoma.

What began was a mass has spread to her bones and bone marrow. She is currently undergoing an aggressive course of treatment to beat this thing!

It began Sunday, February 25, 2007, when she began to complain of pain in her legs and she was not able to put pressure on her left leg. She stayed on the couch all day and with Motrin was feeling better. On Monday, it was more of the same complaints, so mom and dad decided she should go to the doctor the next morning.

Everything moved pretty quickly from there, the doctor felt that she should go to the Emergency Room for further tests. After five tests, it was decided that she needed to be admitted to the hospital.
