Kudos for blasting it out to the world. Listened to one of the women on the radio last night who's family was used to find the gene in question. A sad list of women ancestors who had all died way too young.... The gal was choking up when she was asked about Angelina's choice to go public. It was obviously personal to her, and she was incredibly grateful for the exposure.
The testing itself isn't cheap, but that will surely come down over time.
No kids should grow up without their grand mother around. Dude you forgot Obamacare. The commies want to control all of your health through healthcare and eventually determine whether you live or die.

Unbelievable that any woman would do that preventatively. Given your vast knowledge of medicine - you've been generous in sharing it with us - I'm surprised that you find it unbelievable.

I'm waiting for a matched pair of boobs to show up on Ebay.

Brave move, took courage, yes, all that and more. However, lest we overlook the sadness here in our accolades of Ms. Jolie's difficult decision, I would like to share a moment of silence for the dearly departed. My "flag" will remain at half staff for several minutes in their honor. Left and right, RIP.  ![[Linked Image]](https://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3iap1gif21rrcyd7o1_500.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://usemycomputer.com/indeximages/2008/May/AngelinaJolieIndex354057.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.taddit.com/images/2013-03-11/dHnfvSY.jpg)

Sorry, TRH, after watching several friends die of prostate cancer, if MY PDA was high and going up, I'd cut that little gland out with a sharp George Herron knife. And if the Herron was not available, I'd use a dull spoon ... nothing is worth that death.
Angelina Jolie has guts and wisdom.
God Bless,
Steve

Must be catching as that is my reaction as well.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Have you seen the movie Beowulf? Jolie played Grendel's mother. It's a computer animated version with the people redone as sort of cartoon characters. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDReviews35/beowulf%20angelina%20jolie/beowulf%20dc%20PDVD_036.jpg)

Jim They were not exactly matched. The right one was just a bit bigger.

I ain't seen 'em all yet. Me neither, darn it! I have about forty hours of tattoos on my hide and so does Karen, my wifey of 49 years. If you choose them perfectly and have a fine artist apply them, tattoos are something to enjoy for the rest of your life. I love mine and Karen loves the heck out of hers. If other folks don't like them, that is totally their problem. God Bless, Steve

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. classy post from a classy guy damn how many beers am I gonna owe this guy? 
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

My 32-year old cousin had the same procedure done.
With 2 small boys at home she wasn't about to take any chances.
She's recovered well and the reconstructive surgery has restored her beauty and confidence.
