Call me crazy….

Call me crazy….

So call me crazy but one thing I have refused to know over the years is what stage cancer I have. I have never asked, didn’t want to know, always avoided information about learning about staging, maybe in denial…. Yesterday I got the staging education in my mother-in-laws appointment and learned I am Stage 4 frown emoticon However after thinking about it, I was Stage 4 when I had cancer at 23 years old over 10 years ago when it first moved to my bones, so technically I am seriously defying the ODDS!!!!!!! ~ Jamie #JamiesHope #Cancer #CancerFreeWay #Stage4 #StageIV #Odds...
Cancer sucks!!!!!

Found out today my mother-in-law has lung cancer frown emoticon Cancer sucks!!!!! My daughter and her Gramee pic, she was holding her hand and they were walking with arms around each other. Thank god for kids sometimes.. Can be super sweet when you need them smile emoticon ~ Jamie #‎squamouscell‬ ‪#‎lungcancer‬ ‪#‎cancersucks‬ ‪#‎cancer‬ ‪#‎children‬ ‪#‎camcerfreeway‬ ‪#‎jamieshope‬...

Texans Art @GlazedOver – Mobile IV’er…. StressFree for few hours!!!

        Little #Texans #Art today @GlazedOver!!!  #Mobile #IV in the Texans backpack which I also used as an example to attempt to create a piece of art.  Love anything artsy, gets my mind off of lots of Stress I have been dealing with. For a few hours, didn’t have a care in the world while working on my project, now just need some more practice, lol :) ~ Jamie  #CancerFreeWay...
Back home unfortunately…

Back home unfortunately…

Back home unfortunately… So much easier to find #motivation and #energy to get up everyday and battle life and #cancer when you are on a beautiful #vaca like Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort ! #CancerTraveler pic George Bush Inter-Continental Airport on way home with my #BundlesofHope #Blankie a reminder of Rorie. Also…you can see me carrying our new #Minelab #CTX3030 #MetalDetector !!!! One thing I learned over our trip is I am seriously out of shape, walking and #digging in the sand is probably easier for people that haven’t been battling cancer for years… So think I need to start going to the gym before my next trip smile emoticon...

Cancer, Traveling, Bundles of Hope Rorie Blankie!!

Burnt Butt from Heating Pad!! WARNING to ALL!

Warning: Heating Pad Burn!!!! I am on a heating pad 24/7 for #Pain and at some point this happened and has been like this for several months (not going away). The #scar is unrelated…from cancer removal at 23 years old then #hip replacement at 25. Sorry… for the graphic image…. #CancerReality ~ Jamie #CancerFreeWay #JamiesHope #Cancer #HeatingPadBurn #Ouch #Scar #HipReplacement #2ndDegreeBurn...
Treasure bound…..

Treasure bound…..

Destin, Mindfulness & Metal Detecting!! ‪#‎Destin‬ here I come with my new metal detector!!!! After accomplishing a ‪#‎BucketList‬ item and loving it, I bought a metal detector. Can’t wait to get out on the ‪#‎beach‬!!!! Now hoping to find treasures to pay for the new ‪#‎Minelab‬ ‪#‎CTX3030‬!!!!! Will post pics later of my finds which better not be trash, lol!! FYI….. I think this is kind of like working on ‪#‎mindfulness‬, I am completely unaware of my surroundings , relaxed enjoying the scenery and zoned out of the real world & all the ‪#‎stress‬ that comes with life....

Living life w/ Family, Mobile IV in Texans Backpack, Prevention… prevention… Prevention!!!!

           Track21 go carting with family and friends. First time out being mobile with my new Texans Backpack (matches the shorts and hat too), from my friends at Arthur Andrews Medical !!!! Fits my iv pump, has extra pockets for whatever and even room for my Heparin and Sodium Chloride Syringes for flushing when finished!!!  Can’t tell you how much my quality of life has improved by not spending all my time in hospitals. I was okay going for a long time, but think as time went on it really started wearing on me. I still have many struggles I am working on and trying to overcome. My energy level is what I consider my #1 problem most of the time (it’s very challenging to be healthy when you are lacking energy to do the stuff that needs to be done), but I still feel I am at least working in the right direction towards beating cancer!! Anybody that doesn’t have cancer ….. PREVENTION PREVENTION PREVENTION!!!!!!!!!!! Would give anything to go back and live a much healthier life and maybe I wouldn’t be dealing with cancer today!!!!!!!! Trust me….. cancer sucks! ~...
