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!

Update

It has been a few weeks, so it's time for a blog update.

Leanne is now on her second round of her 7 day chemo meds. While she has relief from some of the extreme side effects from her past chemo treatments, this new medicine has a new set of side effects. One of the biggest and most debilitating is the nausea. It comes on quickly and without warning. Leanne will see a nurse practitioner next week that works with Dr. Bloom just for a check up. She will see Dr. Bloom in November and then have another scan in early December.

Here is where you guys come in. You have been extremely faithful to pray with us. Please continue to do so! Here are some specifics:

  • Minimal side effects from this chemo (especially the nausea)
  • Maximum effectiveness of the chemo on the lymph nodes
  • Freedom from any fear and anxiety that Leanne is having
  • Strength to fight the mental battle that goes along with cancer
  • Good, restful sleep for Leanne
  • Peace for Leo when he is away from Leanne (separation anxiety has been hard for Leo and Leanne)
Thanks for your support! To the diaper deliverer, you are awesome!!!
