No Evidence of Disease

6 OB Oncologists have created a rock band- No Evidence of Disease. These Dr Musicians are using their music to help connect with patients, give patients hope, and if course spread awareness for gynecological cancers. 

Recently, a movie was made about them. It's called The NEDMovie. It is being released in September. This movie is only being shown in select theaters. We have some exciting news! We can bring the movie to YOU in January!!!

On January 22, 2014 the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope will be showing the NED movie at the Newport AMC movie theater on the Levee at 7:00PM. Tickets will go on sale at 12/19 at MIDNIGHT! Don't miss out! Follow our event here:

A Reminder

This lady is why we created our Foundation. 

Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of why you do what you do and need a reminder. Sometimes that reminder will give you a vision of what you could do next. 

When you volunteer for a charity or a cause you feel strongly about it, it isn't about you, or what you have done for the cause, and you shouldn't need a pat on your back for everything you do. It's ALL about that cause that you feel strongly about. In our case it is about helping other women to not have to go through what Jaymie did with battling cervical cancer. So other women do not have to die from this. 

So to everyone who volunteers for the cause;Thank YOU.  

The Low Down on Tomatoes

It's the time of year you see roadside vendors selling vegetables from their garden. People like to go to Farmers Markets- Findley Market being a popular one in Cincinnati. Items from our own gardens are ready to be picked. But did you know that one vegetable from your garden could aide in the prevention of ovarian cancer?

Yep, that's right- TOMATOES!  A tomato contains lycopene. Lycopene is thought to boost your cancer defense in certain groups of people. Evidence shows the lycopene in tomatoes may prevent bladder cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, pancreas cancer and OVARIAN cancer. 

There is no evidence that it fights cancer, just helps prevent it. Another reason to eat that tomato from your garden!  

  

How to Make a Cancer Fighting Meal

Everyone of us need to be living a healthy life style to keep our bodies healthy so we can be there for our loved ones. We need to eat right, exercise, and make and attend our yearly appointment with our doctor. You need to know your body so you can tell the doctor when something isn't right. 

Eating healthy is very hard to do and something the majority of us struggle to do on a daily basis. I will be the first to admit I'd rather eat a hot fudge sundae anyday over brown rice. But I want to be there for my children. Eating healthy also sets an example for your children. Here is a guideline to eating a cancer fighting meal. Fill your plate with these objects and you are fighting against cancer. 

Notice how the vegetable portion is the largest on your plate??

I know life is busy, but make the extra effort to combat cancer before there is cancer!!
