My Bucket List

Imagine the world that would suddenly open up if you found out that a lifetime wasn’t going to be given to you.  

When Dave and I first met I had just gotten a phone call about an abnormal lump in my right breast. I spent a week stressing and considering all of my options in case it did come out as breast cancer. As I laid in a dark room staring up at the ceiling tiles I thought about all the things I had left to do. I remember trying to wipe the tears from my eyes as they did the biopsy and going to see Dave that night and hiding the fear I had over the whole ordeal.

It’s been 3 years and I’m happy to say I’m cancer free, the lump turned out to be benign and I go every year for a mammogram, at 38 years old I’m luckier than some who never get that chance to write a bucket list and know that much of it will come to fruition.

The people at Just Ask want you to stay around for a good long while so you can cross epic activities and life-changing achievements off that list of yours. That’s why they’ve developed a test that could save your life—the BRACAnalysis test—by informing you about your chances of getting breast or ovarian cancer.
