My mom died of breast cancer after a long battle, something I would not wish on my worst enemy. I think Mrs Jolie-Pitt made the right choice and wish her continued good health.

If someone tells you there is an 87% chance of developing the cancer your mother died of, would you take preventative steps to reduce that to 5%? These are the numbers she was given. Even with the best tests available, you can't always detect it at a treatable stage.

It clearly was radical, but so was fighting King George.

Something tells me that this wasn't entirely about breast cancer. 37 years old, large breasted to begin with, a couple of kids, some hollywood vanity . . . not a hard decision for her to go get a nice new set of fakies.
