Cancer, Traveling, Bundles of Hope Rorie Blankie!!

  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 !#CancerTraveler pic @InterContinental 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 :) ~ Jamie  #MetalDetectingStuff #BeepBeepDig #JamiesHope...

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! ~...

Texans backpack for my IV Pump from Arthur Andrew Medical + they included a few Extras!!!! Brought tears to my eyes, was such a nice thing to do :)

      When I started my lifestyle transformation in January by going to #HawaiiNaturopathic one of the #supplements that was included in my regimen is the #ArthurAndrew #NeprinolAFD. When I placed my last order they had seen my blog about wanting a #Texans #FanniePack. Today I checked the mail and there it was a #TexansBackpack that works just like a Fannie pack by looping it through a belt and actually is the exact perfect size for my IV pump for my #IVC!!!!!! Brought tears to my eyes, nicest thing somebody has done for me in a while :)  There was a super awesome letter from Aaron Gillam and also included a few extras that I am excited to learn about also!! ( #SyntolAMD , #DevigestADS , #Floraphage) Thank you so much Aaron and everybody at Arthur Andrew for making my day!!!!!! ~ Jamie  #cancerfreeway #jamieshope #ArthurAndrewMedical #kindness #cancer...
Super rich after a weekend of Metal Detecting!!.. Or not.. lol. Bucket List

Super rich after a weekend of Metal Detecting!!.. Or not.. lol. Bucket List

Getting rich with my metal detector over the weekend!!!!! Or not…..lol!! Found pennies, a penny-like coin (not sure what it is) coke can tabs, and other trash. However, I only went hunting for maybe 2 hours so can’t wait to get back out now that I was just starting to get the hang of it!!!!!!! I was in another world which is great for your health when you can get your mind off of all the normal everyday stress & issues in life. Looking forward to going back out again with a metal detector!!!!! Garrick’s hobby was his #Revo #rccar and our daughter #seashellhunting (I also love seashell hunting). Thinking we were looking pretty dorky, but bet we were having more fun than most people out there Bucket List Item Accomplished ✔️ ~ Jamie #cancerfreeway #GarrettAce250 #Garrett #metaldetecting #metaldetectingstuff #beepbeepdig #beachhobbies #metaldetector #Galveston #hobbies...

Traffic sucks!!! Flying cooler & smashed smoothies :(

Traffic sucks!!! Flying cooler & smashed smoothies :(

Had to slam on my brakes on #Beltway8 and my cooler went flying accross the car breaking my #smoothies inside!!! Soooo annoying!!! Thank god I don’t have to deal with traffic much, it’s literally bad for your health! There are so many studies that talk about how much it effects our health in a negative way. I personally would live in a box if meant not having to deal with #traffic, lol. ~...
I went a little crazy with my selfie stick

I went a little crazy with my selfie stick

So…I went a little crazy with my #selfie stick yesterday and have a FEW pics (lol)… Going to start from the beginning of my day with my arrival at #Wildcat where Wendy Martin / #MakeupByWendy met me to help make me feel extra beautiful for the day by doing my makeup!!!! smile emoticon Then Darla Guyton / #GuytonPhotography met up with me to be my golf cart buddy for the day. Love having her help me interact with everybody all day, lot or people don’t know I am actually really shy but she does a great job of getting me out to meet everybody!! Both of these two ladies have been with #JamiesHope from the beginning and I am so thankful to have them on my team. They have been with me through so many hard times when I was really struggling with self esteem from all the side effects of chemotherapy. They always did a great job of getting me through it and making me feel more confident smile emoticon ~...

Mom Duties last night!!!!

Mom Duties last night!!!!

So thankful for every little moment that IV C and my crazy ‪#‎cancerfreeway‬ health regimen has given me my life back!!! The little things.. like taking her to get a hair cut, getting inside rides she is too big for (lol), helping her with a science project, etc….. Just months ago I would have struggled to do any of these and I am so thankful for my health, being able to share the little moments with her and feeling good for the first time in years!!!!!!! ~...
