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 #8 & Scan Results

Well, results are in! Leanne talked with Dr. Bloom while she was at chemo about her scan. The spot on her liver has shrunk considerably! Her lymph nodes in her chest have not grown! However, there is something that showed up in the scan on the front of her liver that Dr. Bloom wants to do a biopsy on. We don't know when that is scheduled for, but we will update when we can. Leanne is also going to have a blood transfusion in the next two weeks. Her hemoglobin levels are incredibly low and a transfusion should help with energy levels.

I was the lucky one that got to go to chemo with Leanne this week :) Thanks Grammie for watching all the kiddos.

   

Can I just say how amazing this woman is! Her faith and trust in God is so inspiring. I am so thankful for her :) Her ability to see this journey with eternal eyes is such a challenge to me to do the same. She is eager to glorify God in every step along the way. I love her!!

Please keep praying for :

  • Praise! for the good things the scan showed! We are thankful for the spots that are not growing!!
  • Smoothness and a quick turn around for the direct blood transfusion from Aimee and Dad to Leanne
  • Energy for Leanne
  • Biopsy to go smoothly and to be fairly pain free
  • Peace for Leo as he is cared for by other people during the biopsy and recovery
  • Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he interprets biopsy results and determines treatment plans
  • Trust in God's plan and timing
