Zusammenfassung:In this poem, the author recalls the deaths of her parents and her sister's mastectomy. This leads her to wonder if she is playing genetic lottery with her family’s history. Death loses this round of Cancer Roulette but leaves her with a reminder, a tiny heart-shaped scar over her heart, the mother side, and a marker in her breast which aches when it rains.
