Angelina Jolie undergoes double masectomy





Angelina Jolie has had a preventive double mastectomy[ A surgical operation to remove a breast.] and has paid tribute to her “loving and supportive” partner Brad Pitt.
The Hollywood star said she took the decision to have the procedure when doctors told her she had an 87 per cent risk of breast cancer and a 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer.
Writing in the New York Times, the Tomb Raider actress said she finished the three months of medical procedures on April 27th, and added: “During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.”
Paying tribute to Pitt, Jolie said: “I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive.
“So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition.
“Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Centre, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries.
Jolie, whose mother had cancer and died at 56, said waking up from the operation can feel “like a scene out of a science-fiction film”.
She said the decision to have the mastectomy was not easy but that she was happy to have gone ahead with it.
Urging women to get checked out, the star said: “For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options.
