Adriana Mangus has her wings
Dear Group,
I have learned that our dear Adriana passed away this morning, March 2, 2015. Her last posts were looking for help with her eating difficulties after whole brain rads. So sorry she could not overcome her latest setbacks. She was a fixture on this site for so long, fighting, achieving NED, fighting again, and always finding time to travel with her family and live her dreams. Her treatment history was very long, yet she provided helpful information and support unselfishly. Adriana along with her daughter and husband came to Seattle to catch a cruise to Alaska. On the way back we were able to meet and spend an afternoon together. I will always remember her walking on the beach at Golden Gardens on a spectacularly sunny day here. |
Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
Thanks for updating us, Steph. I am just sick at this news. Adriana and I go way back, she was one of the first to reach out to me and I am so sad that she is gone. (I sent a note to her daughter just now thru FB).
I say it every time, I f'in hate this disease...so sad another fabulous woman is gone. |
Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
This is a terrible shock. Adriana was such a fighter that I came to believe she would always recover. She helped me several times. I feel so sad. Too many angels.
My thoughts go to her family. |

Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
I have words, but none suitable for genteel society.
Thanks, Steph, for letting everyone know. You were a shining example of endurance and fortitude, Adriana. My condolences to your family. |

Adriana was such a strong, thoughtful and giving person who courageously faced this monster every step of the way. She is a great loss to our community and will be greatly missed.

Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
What!! My first response to this news...
I loved her. So beautiful, you were, Adriana. Love you always, Karen |
Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
I so adored Adriana -- for decades it seems. We've e'd and PMd and played on FB. We confided and shared and I just always loved her positivity. Through her husband's illness, through her own. A vibrant and beautiful lady, a blessed Soul.
I miss her already. Still, I'm shocked to read this. Stunned. It was so very sudden. Sending love to her and her dear family. Thank you, Steph. Andi |
Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
Thanks for posting this, Steph. I knew she had posted a little while ago that her docs had run out of options for her, but I was hoping, like everyone else, she'd be able to stay with us longer.
She fought and fought and fought for years. I'm with Rhondalea ... the rest of what I'm thinking would be words I don't like to use. I am so sorry doesn't even begin to cover it. Carol Ann |

So sad to hear this news. I never meet Adriana but I will always remember how she reached out to me in a PM when I was newly diagnosed. She had such a positive attitude and it really helped me through my most difficult times in this cancer journey. May she rest in peace.

Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
No! No! No! This is just awful news and I just saw this a couple of hours ago. Thank you Steph for informing us...I knew Adie's case had become more complicated the last few years, but did not see this coming.... I actually physically hurt inside right now and don't know how to express my thoughts. Adriana and I shared a lot over the years same birthday, same pesky lungs, and she was so kind when I wrote about a trip that was on my bucket list about five years ago...that forged a friendship... Adie was so special to all of us
and certainly packed a lot of good living in during her tenure with breast cancer. I marvel at her longevity and loving nature...May God bless you sweet Adie and may your body be at peace forever....Cathy |
Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings

Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
3 days before she passed, Addie was on my FB page, joking.
I am in shock, deep in grief. My heart is with her loved ones. What happened so suddenly?, I keep thinking........................... |
Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
I, too, am saddened by this news. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones. Adriana was one of a kind.

Re: Adriana Mangus has her wings
This makes me sick. We were chatting on Facebook often, and I'd sent her some earrings I'd made.
I'd gone to Texas this month and was so busy studying for my talk I didn't check in. Now I feel horrible. I'm terribly sorry for her family, oh my. :(. She really was hanging on to hope as best she could. Any chances of sleep are gone, but I think my dry eye problem is taken care of. :(. I hope its not to late to wish her family well, she was a wonderful woman. This really hurts. :(. |
