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 #15

After a much needed week off from chemo, it was back to the grind today. My mom went to chemo with Leanne today. Crystal stayed home with Leo. Thanks Crystal!!!

 

There were some exceptionally loud people there this afternoon. Thank goodness for headphones :)

   

And thank goodness for Face Time to help pass the time at chemo. First was Mollie's turn.

   

Next was Carter and Crosby.

   

We are really praying that the next two weeks are Leanne's last two chemo treatments. Please join us in praying for Leanne. Here are some specific requests:

  • Higher counts for Leanne (hers have been lower the past three weeks)
  • Good rest and health for Leanne this week
  • Strength for Leanne and Ryan
  • Maximum effectiveness from the chemo
  • Clear results from Leanne's scan at the end of August
  • Continued encouragement and support for Leanne and Ryan
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he makes treatment decisions for Leanne un the upcoming weeks
Thanks for praying with us! If you ever have any questions about our faith and would like more info, please email us at teamchinny@gmail.com and we would love to talk more.

Leanne,

You may not remember me, but we were on the Thirsty Hearts retreat together a few months ago (love that you're a fellow tall-person!:)). You came to mind today, and I looked up your blog. Thanks for letting us know how to pray. I'm already praying for a clear scan at the end of the month, as well as continued endurance for you and your husband. You are a strong, beautiful woman & God's glory is all over your shining face and your story. Thanks for sharing your courageous journey with us and reminding us how to live.

God's richest blessings on you and your family,

Amy Hanson

Hi Leanne my name is Jane. I am an "old" (meant in every way possible) friend of your mom from Sloan, NY.
I am praying for you. Here is what I know....GOD is BIGGER than any illness including cancer; GOD answers all of our prayers; GOD is the GREAT physician (My personal favorite description of GOD)....just a few examples of MY heavenly FATHER that provide comfort for me and I pray will for you too. I pray that GOD will take the cancer from your body, all of it there now, crushes, destroys, incinerates it and then builds a great firewall to protect you from any that attempts to come back in the future keeping you cancer
-free and keeping your body a perfect vessel for GOD to do great things through! AMEN and AMEN.
