It means "while I hope, I breathe"; it's usually phrased the other way around: "dum spiro, spero", "while I breathe, I hope"

Dum spiro spero cum vitae?

Dum spiro spero is a well-known Latin expression meaning, literally, "While I breathe, I hope" (i.e., "while there's life there's hope").Cum vitae is something tacked on that doesn't make any particular sense. It's either incomplete (if cum is the conjunction "when"; a verb is required) or incorrect (if cumis the preposition "with"; vitae is in the wrong case to be its object).
