Just reported on Fox. Also http://wonderwall.msn.com/movies/an...my-in-ny-times-op-ed-piece-24886.gallerySpecial applause for a still-beautiful, classy lady! Had 87% chance of developing breast cancer (which had killed her mother). Surgery reduced the odds to 5%, doctors say. Let's hope that it's really 0%. (And hope that she doesn't get dumped because of it, as Laura Ingraham was.)

At the end of the day, Celebs are just ordinary folks like the rest of us. I hope the surgery is a success and she recovers fully.
As a celeb, I would imagine she will be able to afford the best reconstructive surgery available, which might be more important for her as a woman as much as for her career..

These days they can reconstruct breasts so you can hardly tell they're missing. I recently read about a young woman in her 20's who did the same thing. Her mother, grandmother, and sister all had breast cancer and the odds of her getting it were very high.

Smart lady!
Big move by a gal but a smart one in my opinion.
Don't much care for her but she has newfound respect from me for making a hard choice like that.

I actually like Angelina. She (and Brad) have put their money where their mouth is when it comes to helping distressed children all over the world. I suspect that most of what they contribute both time and money wise never hits the news. She/they have genuinely big hearts and I like them for that. I hope for the best for her after this decision.

My wife and I know a doctor that had the same surgery. She was tested for the gene and it was positve so she had the surgery and reconstruction. Very pretty lady and a great doctor.

Is this true, or another celebrity hoax 'news flash'? Some famous actor keeps dying in a car crash, or something or other.

A close friend, whose mother died of breast cancer, recently did the same thing. She explained that it was far better to have the surgery on her terms and at a time she chose, than to have to have it later when cancer appeared, and to then have to follow it up, in all likelhood, with chemo or radiation therapy. Plus, for a mother to do it for the benefit of her young kids is a beautiful thing. Mommy will be around a while.

I completely understand her rationale, but I think that very close attention and regular exams to catch any developments early would have been the wiser option.

Although I understand the proactive comments, I have to agree with you Rocky. Seems like getting your tits cut off just because some doctors says you have a 87% chance of Breast Cancer seems pretty extreme. Then again, she's always done stuff pretty extreme anyway.

Some aggressive forms of breast cancer are already widespread when the lumps are large enough to be detected. She made the choice that was right for her. Cancer-0, Peace of Mind-winner P

An 87% chance of getting cancer is pretty darned extreme. I can't fault her measures, especially with all the kids she has to look out for.
