Lisa’s Story

Site created on June 3, 2021

In May of 2021, Lisa was diagnosed with CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). We are using Caring Bridge as a way to keep family and friends updated in one place about her journey. Her husband, Hank, was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer in June of 2021. We will be posting updates about his journey here as well. We appreciate your support and prayers!

Journal entry by Brittany Chafin

 I am so excited I can barely stand it. My labs before my infusion treatment yesterday were Perfect for the first time! My amazing Dr, who I know God led me to, said I am in a complete hematologic remission! Woo Hoo Praise God!!! He answered our prayers! So instead of the 12 months of infusions I was suppose to have, I am DONE with them! I do still have to take the oral chemo medication until July (because the Dr said the leukemia cells can be hiding in bone marrow). There are some yucky side effects from those pills but I will see the Dr every month and she will help manage those symptoms, but I know that I am completely healed and whole and my bone marrow is free of this disease!

I literally cried when I got this good news. God is so good and has been so faithful in this journey. I am so thankful for my tribe and all the people who have prayed with us and believed for this healing. We have claimed it and now we are celebrating it and walking in it! God has a special assignment for us and I have no doubt the devil tried to take us out but he failed and we are stronger than ever and ready for this next season of our lives. If you are believing God for something I hope this can encourage you and stir up your faith…we love you all!
