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 #6

While Leanne's counts weren't the greatest today, she was still able to have chemo!!! Her blood counts were ok, but her platelet and hemoglobin levels were low. Leanne has an appointment with Dr. Bloom on April 10th to discuss the plan for the next steps in treatment.

Marsha was the lucky one to go to chemo with Leanne today!!

 

And Miss Claire got to spend part of the afternoon with her Auntie Lan!

   

Leanne and Ryan are heading on their vacation early tomorrow morning! Please keep lifting them up in prayer. Here are some specific requests:
  • Leanne to feel good and have energy on vacation
  • Wisdom on when to rest while they are gone
  • Appt with Dr. Bloom on 10th; God to prepare our hearts for whatever comes our way
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he makes treatment decisions and specifically to find a way for Leanne to continue getting treatment
  • Leanne's counts to recover and stay high
  • Maximum effectiveness of the chemo
  • A relaxing, refreshing, and healthy getaway for Leanne and Ryan

No chemo :(

Leanne's counts weren't high enough today and was not able to have chemo today. Her treatment is rescheduled for next Wednesday. This is not the best timing as Leanne and Ryan are going away for a long weekend in San Diego next week. But we do know that God's plan and timing are perfect and we will continue to trust Him.

Please join us in praying for:

  • Higher blood counts
  • Higher hemoglobin counts
  • Strength and endurance for Leanne, both physically and mentally
  • Continued trust in God's timing and plan
  • Strength for Ryan as he leads his family
  • Good restful sleep for Leanne, Ryan, and Leo

Chemo #5

Leanne had good counts today and was able to have chemo! My mom went with her today. She enjoyed a foot massage during chemo. How wonderful!!
   

 She met with one of Dr. Bloom's nurse practitioners today and she said she could barely feel any of the lymph nodes on Leanne's neck!!! She did mention that Leanne's hemoglobin levels are steadily declining and will contribute to the fatigue she is feeling. Please keep praying! Here are some specific requests:

  • Leanne's platelet count to stay at 100 or above
  • Leanne's hemoglobin levels to stay stead
  • Good, restful sleep for Leanne, Ryan, and Leo
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he makes decisions about meds
  • Maximum effectiveness of the chemo meds for Leanne
  • Minimal side effects from the chemo
  • Strength for Ryan as he leads his family
  • Strength for Leanne as she continues to fight
  • Stamina for Ryan as he balances work, taking care of his family, and taking care of himself
