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!

More info

Here is what we know so far:

The spot on Leanne's liver has grown. While the shingles was causing her pain, the extreme pain she was in was most likely from the cancer growing.

She started new chemo meds today. She hasn't had either of these meds before so other than fatigue, we are not sure what the side effects will be. Once we know how these meds will affect Leanne, we will most likely be posting more needs on the Care Calendar.

We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers over the past two days. THANK YOU! Leanne has such a peace which can only come from your interceding for peace on her behalf. While there will be many ways to help in the upcoming weeks and months, we ask that, for right now, you continue to pray with us. Please pray specifically for:

  • Continued peace for Leanne and Ryan
  • Stamina for Leanne as she continues to battle cancer
  • Strength for Ryan as he leads his family
  • Comfort for Leo when he is in the care of others
  • Restful sleep for Leanne
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom
  • Maximum effectiveness of the chemo meds
  • Minimum side effects
  • Relief from the pain for Leanne
  • Leanne's pain to be completely under control with meds in pill form so she can go home soon
While this journey continues to be longer than any of us wish it would be, we cling to God's promise that when we trust in Him our strength will be renewed. No matter what comes our way.

"But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31 HCSB
