Angelina Jolie to have ovaries removed
Melbourne: Angelina Jolie, who won much praise for her revelation the she went double mastectomy, is now planning to undergo another surgery.
According to People magazine, the 37-year-old actress wants to have her ovaries removed to ensure that she remains cancer-free, News.com.au reported.
Jolie recently made an announcement about having both her breasts removed after discovering that she carried a faulty gene which put her at 87 percent chance of contracting breast cancer, which reduced that risk to 5 percent.
However, the doctors have still given Jolie a 50 per cent chance of developing ovarian cancer
She will just continue to collect them from around the world
Or freeze her eggs.
All the kids seem well loved and taken care of, I don't see the big deal.
She has eight million kids so I'm sure it's not that devastating.
Well for her sake, I hope not. There is something about losing important parts of your body that can really play hell with your mind. A friend of mine had a mastectomy and has been in an absolute funk for months because of it. Says she doesn't feel like a woman any more, hates to go out in public because everyone can tell (no really they can't) and that's without the hormonal funk that comes of messing with ovaries. Some people breeze right through this sort of an experience, but about 1/3 have major, major issues either emotional, physical or both.
I don't believe I'd have ever made the decision AJ did... There are many other less draconian things she could have done. But I understand why she did it.
Oh, I don't think she deserves a medal... I am glad she was public about this though as it's an issue that doesn't get much press unless it involves one of the "beautiful people." I just hope she's as open when she melts down because she mutilated herself when she had other choices.
Im still baffled WHY she would even announce it? So that I can sit and wonder if I have this stupid gene? And then wonder how much a genetic test for said gene costs? And I am positive her boobies will come out just fine. Nothing like spending shitloads of money to put them back and make 'em pretty. poor AJ. whatever.
And then wonder why she didn't just donate all the fucking money to cancer research so women don't have to do preventive shit like this? IDK
Every single thing she does is for press. She can use the guise of her actions being good, but that doesn't stop her fame-whoring needing to be fulfilled. For people who say they would like to have privacy and respect of their personal lives, they seem to be the first ones to call the paps and news outlets whenever they go anywhere and do anything. Brad went down a bajillion notches in my book the second he joined that bandwagon.
Is it wrong to actively think and feel someone is an annoying attention seeking asshole? NO.
