Any sunny day in the middle of a Walla Walla winter is a great thing to be thankful for. And I'm also thankful that I had my first chemo treatment on Friday (yesterday) in Seattle, along with a second Hereceptin treatment. We drove back to Walla Walla right after I finished treatment about 2:30 p.m.
When I am getting treatment or even just being at the Seattle center, I feel great. It’s the days of waiting that are the challenge. Last week I was very anxious. I never knew how anxiety can physically manifest itself! Yuk. But now I know, so I can try do some things about it.
Now that I will be in Seattle every Friday for treatments, I feel like I can put together a better routine. This chemo drug is not supposed to cause nausea and so far so good, but I'll just take it day by day.

OOPS hit enter when I shouldn't have. I just wanted you to know just how proud I am of how you have handled all of this. With each step of recovery you will inspire others much like you inspire me. You are important! You are loved! You are special! I adore you.

Rosa, I am up late as usual...I wanted to thank you for trusting me to be with you through the Chemotherapy treatment on Friday. Spending the past couple of days with you and Blanca touches me deeply and I love having such wonderful sisters. I talked with mom tonight and she is so on board with getting you all the right food and being there for you. We have an amazing mom and dad. I was happy to hear that you went on a couple of walks today. Lowell, Oliver, and I loved having you and Blanca here at our house and I loved being with you and Blanca at the RV park on Thursday night. I'll not forget Dermot Mulroney for a while. Yes, that was a good distraction. We laugh, we cry, we sleep, we don't sleep, we question, we talk, we do what has to be done. We will do this together with family and friends. I love you dear sister and I am with you always.
Our prayers are always with you Rosa. Blessings. ~Melissa MacPhee

Rosa,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You have borne this big burden with grace and courage. This is not an easy fight and we want you to know that we are just a phone call away if you want to talk or laugh for a few minutes.
We love you and miss you!

Rosa, just thinking about you for your next visit to Seattle (tomorrow, right?). I hope you're still feeling pretty decent. I miss seeing you when I'm sailing through Havstad.
Hi Rosa,
I keep thinking of you and am glad to hear the treatment seems to be doing things!
Love,
Jonna
