Who are you to tell me
What I can do with my body
You don't know the fear
I have to deal with
Just looking over my family tree

I didn't do this to be "brave"
I didn't do this to be "cool"
I did this so I might
Have some peace of mind
And not fear leaving my children as orphans

So many in my family have succumb
To the cancer gene
Not living through the Chemo
Or radiation therapy
So excuse me if I don't care if you don't like my preemptive method

I didn't do it for you
I didn't do it for the public
I did it for myself and my family
They are more important than anyone I know
But thank you for your opinion.
