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 #3

Yes, it seems like I skipped a week of chemo, but I didn't. Leanne's first round of chemo was when she was in the hospital, so her last treatment was actually her second one.

Anyways ... Leanne had an appointment with Dr. Bloom yesterday to check on how things are going. She got some good news! When she had her scan in the hospital a few weeks ago the cancerous lymph nodes in her neck were the size of peanut M&M's and yesterday they were the size of M&M mini's!!! And that is just from two chemo treatments! Dr. Bloom will monitor the meds being given very closely because they don't want one of the chemo meds to become too toxic for Leanne's body. But we are thankful it is working so well!!!

Leanne went to chemo with Sheri today! She is Leanne's Mentor Mom from Mom's Connect. (which is similar to MOPS) Sadly, she didn't get a pic though. Carmen got to spend the afternoon with Leo! And Leanne got to Face Time with this little lady.

 

Please keep praying for us! Please pray specifically for:

  • Health and energy to fill the Miller household
  • Good, restful sleep for Leanne, Ryan, and Leo
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he makes decisions about meds
  • Correct dosages for pain meds to be figured out
  • Maximum effectiveness of the chemo meds for Leanne
  • Minimal side effects from the chemo
  • Strength for Ryan as he leads his family
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.
