“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4
This has always been my favorite bible verse. I never dreamed that I would lean so heavily upon these comforting words at the age of 42 when I suddenly found myself staring death in the eye. It all started with one sentence that would change my life forever:

My heart stopped when I saw the driver coming towards us…heading the wrong way up a one way ramp. It was Saturday night and my family was headed home from dinner with Grandma. We weren’t prepared for this unexpected event. We veered out of the way and my husband rolled down his window to warn the driver. An older lady peeked out of the door.

Some wonder why I am having a preventative hysterectomy with these same odds of developing ovarian cancer (27% to be exact). My journey through breast cancer came with an all expense paid trip to world BRAC testing. It was a whole new world for me. I dodged the bullet with BRAC 1 mutation but I wasn’t so lucky with BRAC 2. I officially have something in common with Angelina Jolie!
