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!

  • Minimal side effects from chemo
  • The numbness in her fingers to not spread any further
  • Strength and stamina for Ryan, Leo and their families as they support Leanne
  • Maximum effectiveness from this particular chemo medicine
  • Leo to get better sleep while he is teething

And a huge thanks to whoever keeps the diaper deliveries coming!!

Chemo #8 and some good news!

Leanne got some great news at her appointment with Dr. Bloom this morning! All the spots they saw on her scan in March have shrunk! Dr. Bloom is not convinced they have reached the maximum results from this chemo, so he has decided to continue chemo for 2-3 more months and then do another scan. We are so thankful for God blessing us with these results!

After her appointment, my mom went with Leanne to chemo. Mollie and I were the lucky ones to have a lunch FaceTime date!

 
 

Thanks to Karen for watching Leo today!

We are so thankful for your prayers, support, meals, and encouragement. We could not do this without you! Please keep lifting Leanne up in prayer. Here are some specific requests:

  • Praise God for great results today!
  • Minimal side effects from the chemo for Leanne
  • The numbness in Leanne's fingers to not spread any further
  • Strength and stamina for Leanne, Ryan, Leo, and their families as we start another round of chemo
  • Restful sleep for Leanne
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he continues making decision regarding Leanne's treatment

No Chemo Tuesday!!

Today was one of Leanne's scheduled weeks off from chemo. We spent the day shopping, crafting, and relaxing. 

Leanne got the results of her genetic testing this evening and she is not a carrier of the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene! We are praising God for the burden that has been lifted off Leanne's heart.

While this has been a restful and relaxing week, there are some big events coming up over the next few days. On Thursday Leanne has a PET scan at 6:45am. We don't know if she will know the results of the scan that day or when she meets with Dr. Bloom next Tuesday. But, know that we will let you know the results once we know them.

Please be praying for:
  • Praise! for the good news from the genetic testing results
  • Peace for Leanne as she has her PET scan. Pray against loneliness and fear during the actual scan
  • Peace for Leanne, Ryan, and their families as they await the results of the scan
  • Peace for Leo as he cannot be around Leanne on Thursday
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he makes decisions regarding Leanne's future treatment
