Star Actress, Angelina Jolie had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as a preventative measure against cancer.
Jolie said she chose to have the surgery as she carries a gene that gave her a 50% risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Not forgeting ther herv mom two years ago died of cancer...seems like a good idea.
According to BBC report, she says,"Regardless of the hormone replacements I'm taking, I am now in menopause. I will not be able to have any more children, and I expect some physical changes. "But I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life. It is nothing to be feared."
According to Michelle Roberts, a health editor, "Angelina Jolie carries a 'faulty' gene, called BRCA1, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer".
"Her doctors estimated she had an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 50% risk of ovarian cancer in her lifetime unless she underwent surgery."
Se concludes by saying, "I know my children will never have to say: "Mom died of ovarian cancer."
