Every Thursday morning, members of the Phinney Friends Crochet Group meet in-person to knit, crochet and chat. 🧶 The group is comprised of knitting and crochet hobbyists from the Phinney Ridge neighborhood. Since 2001, the group has donated thousands of handmade items to organizations across Seattle, including Fred Hutch.

The idea for knitting hats for patients came from member Tanya Sidarova’s experience at Fred Hutch. Having undergone cancer treatment, Tanya was keenly aware of the side effects. Linda Curry, one of the Phinney Friends, noted “She realized that some of the people there could use some hats due to their treatment, losing their hair and so forth.”

Now, every time Tanya comes to campus, she comes bearing gifts. “Before each of my appointments, I let the group know, collect the donated hats and scarves, and bring them to Fred Hutch,” she said.

What started as a hobby connecting neighbors has grown into a decades-long tradition of giving back. Their impact shows how simple it can be to show up. Start small, start with what you know and the world will become that much warmer.🧤🧣

Breast cancer treatments are more effective than ever — so effective that doctors are finding ways to safely use less treatment without compromising outcomes.

“One of the other amazing things that we're starting to see in breast cancer is a more of a de-escalation strategy,” says Dr. Vidhya Nair, a breast cancer specialist and medical director of adult survivorship at Fred Hutch. “How can we offer the same benefits in terms of longevity and survival, in their breast cancer outcomes without giving them some of the harmful toxic effects from our treatments?”

From smart pill bottles that help people remember to take their meds to calls for better menopausal symptom relief for women with breast cancer to intriguing hints at what drives dormant tumor cells to reawaken and form metastasis, the 2025 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium brought plenty of data and bold new ideas to the thousands of clinicians, researchers and patient advocates in attendance.

As a kidney transplant recipient, Paris Malachias was accustomed to dealing with skin cancer. It’s a common side effect of post-transplant immunosuppressants, which leave transplant recipients extra sensitive to sun.

But in late 2022, a stubborn spot on his face turned out to be Merkel cell carcinoma, one of the rarest and most aggressive skin cancers.

With help from a Fred Hutch team specializing in both transplant and cancer care, Paris received tailored immunotherapy that preserved his kidney and defeated the cancer. Today, he’s back home and thriving — and grateful to the Seattle experts who saved his life.

Meet Kimberly Losey and her wife, Kim. These two amazing women went to prom together 39 years ago, and their story continues to inspire us all.

This week, Kimberly marked an extraordinary milestone: her 100th round of chemotherapy. For nearly 7 years, she has faced cancer with courage, resilience, and unwavering hope.

Her family created a beautiful sign to honor this achievement. The front celebrates Kimberly’s strength, and the back says “Thank You” to the incredible care team at Fred Hutch who have supported her every step of the way.

What’s next for Kimberly? She’s looking forward to her next big adventure: a trip to Hawaii in March! 🌺🌴

Please join us in sending Kimberly and Kim all the love and encouragement as they continue this journey together. 💙
