For those of you who frequented the chat room 5 years ago, you couldn't help but remember our own inimitable mena! Boards sisters can't help but know her by her Mojo thread! Few ppl have as quick a wit or strong a shoulder.

Life has handed her a lot of ca-ca over the last few years, not the least of which is multiple mets. She has decided to forego any further chemo tx (she is the QUEEN of chemo--I don't think there is one she hasn't tried!) She is in palliative care & currently experiencing a pain management issue with her liver. She could use our prayers, good vibes, support & well wishes. If you care to post them on this thread we will be sure she gets to see them. I am praying that some answers are found to make her comfortable. I so enjoy hearing her LOL!!

Lord, please grant many more chuckles to Mena, our friend! 

Hugs--be well & stay strong

Mena,

We have known each other for several years and shared several phone calls. You have been so strong, couragous and an inspiration to me. Let me hold your hand my friend and draw strength from my admiration and love for you. Wish I was close enough to physically help you.

Love You my Friend

Miss Mena,

I remember our days in chat so well.  You have always been and continue to be a strong woman and one hell of a fighter.  You are a true gem my friend. 

I pray you find the right pain relief and continue each day as you chose.

Love ya kiddo.

Mena -

not sure if you will remember me - we met a few years ago with some other Jersey girls at a restaurant in Edison.  Remember you had a hard time finding the place and I talked you thru it over the phone?

I was in the middle of my journey then and you gave me such hope that day.

I just wanted to thank you and pray you have better days ahead.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

There is a friend to many name Mena

She started a thread called mojo because she wasn't getting any

She started a trend

that was hard to not offend

but needed not to defend

so many she doesn't even know

are so grateful for her lack of mojo

we thank you our Dear Mena

for speaking about the lack of well you know

breast cancer takes our breast, our desires, our womanhood

but as hard as it tries it cannot take our sisterhood

love Shokk

I am a real smart ass in the best kind of way
