In EastEnders' land of drama and flair,
Lived Kara Tointon, with a story to share,
A double mastectomy, a brave choice to make,
To prevent cancer, for her family's sake.
She carried the BRCA gene, a risk so high,
For breast and ovarian cancer, a constant sigh,
A test was taken, and the results were clear,
A history of cancer, a family fear.
Her mother Carol, with ovarian cancer's might,
Had undergone treatment, a long and hard fight,
Kara took the test, and the results were the same,
A carrier of the gene, with a risk to reclaim.
With a son in 2021, and another by her side,
Kara decided to act, and take preventative pride,
A double mastectomy, a two-part protector study too,
To remove the ovaries, and see her family through.
Angelina Jolie, a Hollywood star so bright,
Underwent a mastectomy, to prevent cancer's plight,
Kara followed her lead, with a brave heart so true,
To prevent cancer, and see her family through.
With hindsight now clear, Kara can share her tale,
A story of bravery, and a family's frail,
A preventative measure, to keep cancer at bay,
A decision made with love, for her family's day.
Kara works with the Eve Appeal, a charity so dear,
To raise awareness, and wipe away fear,
A gynaecological cancer charity, with a noble aim,
To help women like Kara, and keep them safe from the flame.
So if you're at risk, don't be afraid to take a test,
And seek preventative measures, to keep cancer at rest,
Kara's story is a reminder, of the importance of care,
To take control of your health, and show you truly dare.
