Jamie remembers the moment the doctors told her she had cancer. She was 9 years old. Her cancer was a very rare type of a child. She had to travel from her home in Nevada to California to be treated. Once she started her chemotherapy, she had to live in a "bubble room" for 3 months.
After months of treatments, sickness and living in a hospital, she was finally able to come home. As she grew up, she starting having survivors guilt and became very depressed and even suicidal. Each of the 3 times she tried to commit suicide, she was able to stop herself.
Jamie still suffers from depression, and anxiety. She recently has learned to embrace these hard parts of her life, and it has helped her so much. As she's embraced the days that she has to lay in bed and not be doing what she hoped or wanted to do, she is able to move forward with a fuller outlook on her life as a wife and mother on those good days.
