PREVIVOR: A Poem

By: Chana Duskis

I am......

Prepared to live a long life

Risk reducing surgery, under the knife

Exercise, get healthy, be pro life

Vocalize your needs and do not give in to strife

I never knew BRCA was so rife

But 1 in 40 Ashkenazi women have it.

Validate your feelings, you are a good wife

Obtain the best medical advice

Remain strong, so you can live a FULL life!
