Help Jamie's fight with CANCER

I am Jamie, and I have been battling breast cancer since Sept 11. My first chemo was 7 hours every 20 days. This has been one of the hardest things I've had to deal with, and I still try to stay positive and motivated, especially after losing my hair.

It took the Pope County Sheriff's keeping my wigs, medicine, and my wallet with all the money I had at that moment, from selling my things out of my storage when they profiled my 2010 Buick and pulled us over, saying, "Well, your car is known for non-licensed drivers that drive you around, Ms. Leonard!" They towed my car and even arrested me from my passenger seat, insisting I was the driver, and took me to jail. This was the first time I had not had a wig on and was seen as I was. I tried getting my car out, but they asked for so much money in such a few days, and they wouldn't let me get my purse with my wallet that had $590.00 cash. I even went in there telling them I have aggressive cancer and needed my medicine and my hair. I informed them they had all my wigs, and I couldn't afford them again. They responded with, "They didn't care." I was not the registered owner, but bringing the registered owner 8 days later didn't matter either. We went there with $1,300, and they still wouldn't release my car to him.

It was really hard to be forced to walk around already feeling icky inside and then having people stare at me in confusion. My pride had been humbled in so many ways. It has only made me stronger and wiser. I have so many great friends and family that have given me the strength to keep going, even though life on life's terms is testing my strength. So many of my friends gave me so many compliments when the tow yard first kept my hair, I sometimes would forget.

Back to my unlicensed drivers, yes, most of my friends have a license, but all of them knew how important it is for me to keep going to my appointments in order to beat this cancer that now is in my lymph nodes. At one point, they insisted it went into my liver, but then when I was on the operating table undergoing a liver biopsy, they were unable to find the 2 spots. I'm currently awaiting results from my CAT scan. I'm positive that God has a better plan for me.

I need to pull through this phase in my life. I don't like asking for things in life without working for them, but I have been humbled. I have lost everything just trying to stay alive, everything but myself, and that was a worry I had going through my mind in the beginning because of so many changes in my body, emotionally, mentally, and physically. My next surgery is the removal of my breasts. I will not be able to make it financially without help, and my friends have already carried me through so much. I decided to reach out this way. So please, anything would help with my situation. I appreciate you taking the time to read this also. Thank you.
