On Tuesday October 11, 2011 Leanne (Chin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog will follow her journey. It will share the peaks and valleys along the way. But it will also serve as a way to communicate prayer requests and praises. Join us as we partner with Chin and fight along side her for she "...can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phil. 4:13

The meaning behind Chin ... There is a Chinese restaurant in the Twin Cities named Leann Chin. While Leanne was attending a basketball camp in middle school, a fellow camper had a bag from the restaurant. This camper made the connection between the name of the restaurant and Leanne's name. And the nickname Chin stuck!

Chemo #6

Before chemo Leanne had an appointment with Dr. Bloom's Nurse Practitioner. She said things were looking good. Her tumor markers in her blood were going down, but they are still in the normal range. They were also in the normal range when Leanne was diagnosed the 2nd time, so those numbers don't really mean much. However, lower numbers is still good!

While at her appointment, she ran in to her friend Ann. I know Leanne is thankful to have friends to walk this journey with her who are experiencing the same thing. God has been so faithful in that way!

   

We also got to Face Time with Leanne during chemo :) Mollie was keeping Auntie Leanne busy with her stories from the zoo.

   

My mom went to chemo with Leanne today, but they didn't get a picture. And thanks to Karen for spending the afternoon with Leo!

 Leanne has some specific prayer requests for you guys this week:

  • She has been having some numbness in her fingers (a side effect from chemo) and her prayer is that it does not spread any more into her hands or feet throughout her remaining treatment.
  • Stamina for Leanne to keep fighting as the fatigue wears on her
  • Strength for Leanne, Ryan, Leo, and their families
  • Peace as we trust in God's plan for Leanne's life
