Mena hasn't posted here in over a year and doesn't participate here but I thought a few of you who remember her might be interested in how she is doing.  She has significant metasteses in her lungs and recently found out that her liver is now involved.  In January she had severe pain and breathing problems, but had a nice little remission after undergoing radiation.  She is now having pain and breathing problems again, but is undergoing a new round of chemo and is hopeful that this will work.

She has a trip planned with her family to California in August and desperately hopes that she will be well enough to go. She is putting up a good fight...she's not willing to give up.  Your prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated. 

Mena, you go girl!!!

Thanks Saint for bringing us the correct information.  I called and left her a message yesterday.  Mena is in no way a quitter.  I'm glad she has an old chatter to go through. 

Hugs Mena.....

Saint, thanks for giving us Mena's true condition - many of us were confused as we have been in the past with post regarding Mena.

Mena, sending you good wishes and every Christmas I put up the lights, I think of you.  We both enjoyed them going up but dreaded like the dickens to take them down.   Hugs !!

Just so you all know--there is a new thread in the Palliative forum to leave messages specifically for Mena---we will be sure she sees them! She does not read the boards.

HUGS
