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 #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
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.
