Angelina Jolie removed her breasts and admitted it
One of the most terrible messages of the year: 37-year-old Angelina Jolie removed her mammary glands. She allegedly had a mutation in the BRCA1 gene, which in theory could lead to breast cancer. And also to ovarian cancer.
“My doctors have concluded that I have an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent chance of developing ovarian cancer, although, of course, this probability varies from woman to woman,” Jolie wrote in a column for The New York Times.
“And when I realized that this was my reality, I decided to confront it in advance and minimize the risk as much as I could. I decided to have a double preventative mastectomy.”
Angelina spent three months in the clinic. She not only had both mammary glands removed, but also had two implants inserted - that is, her breasts will look the same as before. And now her chances of getting breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to five.
“And I’m wildly happy that I did it,” Jolie writes. “I can now tell my children that they don’t have to be afraid that I will die from breast cancer.”
Her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer at 56, after a ten-year battle with the disease. “She lasted long enough to hug her first grandchildren. But my other children will not have the opportunity to know her and feel how loving and gentle she was,” says Angelina.

Preventive removal of Jolie's ovaries has not yet been performed. “I decided to start with the breasts,” she writes in the column.
Let us remember that Russian journalist Masha Gessen went through the same procedure several years ago; she had both breasts removed out of fear that she would develop cancer. She described her feelings in a book, the bloodiest chapter of which was translated from English and published on the Internet. This, as it turns out, is a popular procedure in the United States: people remove their mammary glands, stomachs, and other organs in advance. It is up to the readers themselves to decide whether this is a miraculous drug or a monstrous medical scam, as in the case of Jolie, each for themselves - depending on their courage.
COMMENTS BY THE STARS
Anna Semenovich: “To prevent problems, I don’t wear tight underwear and get a massage”
— As the owner of a large bust, I undergo examinations with a mammologist every six months, do an ultrasound of the mammary glands once a year, and I advise every girl and woman to do the same. Also, due to my large breasts, my back often hurts, so I regularly visit a massage therapist. I don’t wear too tight underwear, I play sports, and I’m sure that radical methods are only acceptable if experts insist on it. I assume that this was the case with Jolie, who decided to undergo this serious operation.
Nadezhda Meikher: “I have prophetic dreams about my health”
The owner of one of the most beautiful busts in our show business commented on the situation with Angelina Jolie:
— In Ukraine and Russia, public figures eagerly savor the details of each other’s personal lives, but for some reason they are afraid to talk out loud about really important things, such as health. The act of Angelina Jolie, who spoke from the pages of newspapers about her breast removal operation, is worthy of respect. This was not done for the sake of PR. In this way, the actress is trying to encourage women who still can’t find time to go to the doctor (or are afraid, feeling something is wrong) to dare to do what they have been putting off for a long time. I try to do without doctors, I turn to them only in case of emergency (the realities of our medicine are such that while they are examining you, they will find a bunch of different ailments). I undergo routine examinations once a year, including with a mammologist. To prevent illness, I try to listen to the body and its needs - my intuition does not let me down! I even have prophetic dreams about my health! In order not to get sick, you need to live in harmony with yourself and the outside world. I am a supporter of the theory that the causes of any disease must be sought in psychological factors. If you believe psychosomatics, the cause of cancer is outdated, hidden grievances.

Angelina Jolie had her breasts removed. The actress had her mammary glands removed and replaced with implants. The star decided to undergo surgery because of the threat of cancerKP-TV
COMPETENTLY
The operation does not spoil the appearance of the breast, but it does not eliminate the risk of cancer...
Galina Korzhenkova, Candidate of Medical Sciences, senior researcher at the Diagnostics Department of the Russian Oncological Research Center named after. Blokhin (Oncology Center on Kashirka):
— This operation, which was performed on Angelina Jolie, is called “subcutaneous mastectomy with simultaneous breast surgery.” Men, don't worry, the appearance of the actress's charms will not change. During this operation, the surgeon removes the glandular tissue from the mammary gland, that is, what the breast is filled with, while the skin and nipple remain undamaged. At the same time, an implant is inserted in place of the glandular tissue. So visually nothing will change, except that there will be small scars, as after breast augmentation, for example (read more)
MORE EXPERT OPINION
Will breast removal help Angelina Jolie avoid cancer?
“Of course, we have no right to discuss whether Angelina did the right thing by removing her breasts.” This means there were compelling medical reasons for this. Hereditary predisposition to breast cancer was proven back in the 80s of the 20th century. Which then, by the way, provoked an entire epidemic of mastectomies (that is, breast removal operations) in the United States. Even completely healthy women insisted on surgery. Nowadays, knowledge about cancer has increased, and such operations are carried out only for special indications (read more)
Angelina Jolie had her mammary glands and ovaries removed: the opinion of a Russian oncologist
The famous Russian oncologist Mikhail Laskov said that the step the actress decided to take was completely justified. Inconclusive genetic testing results often cause women to undergo unnecessary surgery (out of fear of cancer). In 2014 alone, four women in Connecticut had their breasts and ovaries removed after learning they had mutations in their BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that were not clearly associated with an increased risk of cancer.
This operation makes sense. Because with what doctors discovered in her (the gene for hereditary cancer of the breast and female reproductive system), it is absolutely justified, and it had to be done,” says Laskov. Sometimes doctors wait for a woman to give birth if she has no children. But if you have children, you definitely need to have surgery, because the risk of developing ovarian and breast cancer is about 80% by the age of 40.

Russia is a country of oncophobes. It is a fact. I lived in England, Italy, and the States. Nowhere is the topic of cancer discussed with such selfless enthusiasm as here. Despite the fact that our knowledge in the field of oncology is insignificant.
We do not donate blood for tumor markers during the annual medical examination. Not all of us go through this very medical examination, and those who do often do it formally, galloping through doctors in order to obtain a certificate for the HR department.
We are dense, but cancer is scary, and we are terribly afraid of it. It comes to the point that we refuse to be examined only because we are afraid to find out the result.
This happened to one of my friends. She had breast cancer, which she beat. Seven years later, the woman felt worse, but did not consult a doctor. As it turned out later, I was afraid to hear that the cancer had returned. I was so afraid that they didn’t save me.
Another friend of mine has been worried about elevated body temperature for several years. I send her to a therapist to be examined. It doesn't work. “What if I have cancer?” - answers. What if you have chronic pharyngitis, damn it! And, it seems, she’s not a stupid woman: educated, stylish, and has a good job. However, like the last dense fool, she refuses to look for the cause of her elevated temperature, because she is afraid that the cause will be cancer.
Cancer for the Russian average is something like an exciting horror movie: it’s scary to watch and impossible to tear yourself away.
“He has oncology,” they say here, always lowering their voice when describing a person facing this disease.
Tasty pie. — Maria Ivanovna gave me the recipe. - Who is she? - Yes, an accountant from work. She has oncology.
If a person has cancer, they will definitely tell you about it. And they will say in such a sepulchral voice that you will be afraid not only for the life of this person, whom you may not even know, but also for your own.
As soon as someone loses weight and looks ugly, he is immediately diagnosed with oncology. If you get a short haircut, they rely on chemotherapy. But they don’t go to get examined themselves. What you! What if it’s oncology?!
In the minds of our average person, “cancer” and “death” are practically synonymous, and a cure for cancer is a miracle. Cured? A miracle happened. Not cured? Well, well: there are no miracles.
“Angelina Jolie cut off her breasts. What a mental fool! She doesn't have cancer! - the man in the street argues with an important look and decides, “Oncophobic.”
No, Jolie doesn’t have cancer, but only an 87 percent chance of it. She's a fool for refusing to draw a winning ticket from a pile where 87 out of 100 are losers. What a fool, isn't she? Well, she's a pure windowphobe.
Degenerative nonsense and bullshit.
This is not Jolie - an oncophobe. She just found the courage to get examined and reduce the risk of getting sick to a minimum. An oncophobe is someone who is inactively afraid. He pisses stupidly and that’s it, periodically spinning the flywheel of fear within himself. Poking around on forums, trying on symptoms, exchanging fears with others of his own kind.
Instead of using their heads and sensibly assessing their own risks of getting cancer, the average person voluptuously scares himself of glioblastoma or leukemia and conjures up images of a breastless Jolie.
In fact, surgeons removed Jolie's mammary glands and installed implants for her. The nipples were saved. Moreover, nipples are now being reconstructed if there is such a need.
After the operation, Jolie's breasts look great. Elastic, tall, like a young girl.
And what was the point of keeping her breasts, which: a) are very dangerous, b) have become old and have sagged for a long time?
However, our oncophobes are blissful: “I cut off my breasts! I cut off my breasts!” You tell them that Jolie inserted silicone, they grimace: “Ugh, silicone.”
I myself have silicone breasts, which are better than any natural ones. Both in appearance and to the touch.
Associating modern silicone implants with hard rubber balls that explode on an airplane is like riding a donkey in the 21st century or treating diseases with castor oil and bloodletting.
You're not being treated with castor oil, are you? Then why do you associate silicone breasts with this:
Do you really think that progress has affected everything except plastic surgery? Well, that’s your stupidity.
To be afraid of oncology, but at the same time to gain knowledge about it from the program “Let Them Talk” is also stupid. As, indeed, ridicule of Angelina Jolie’s actions.
When we are faced with the fact that cancer has taken away a life full of hope and plans, we feel powerless in the face of it. We are driven by sticky and dull fear when we begin to delve into “oncology” rumors and gossip at the level of door-knockers. No need.
First, many forms of cancer are curable. Incurable cases are the loudest, they are always visible simply because the topic of death arouses more interest among the average person than the topic of a quiet life.
Laima Vaikule overcame cancer, although the chance of recovery was 20 percent. Daria Dontsova managed to cope, although her illness was already at the last stage. Who's talking about them now? Nobody. Because their films called “Oncology” have ceased to be horror films, which are scary to watch and impossible to tear yourself away from.
Secondly, Jace Watson, the number one molecular biologist in the world, said in a recent interview that in a year or two he might be able to find a cure for cancer.
Our distant pagan ancestors were afraid of thunder and believed that it was the wrath of the gods. Don't be like savages in your phobias. If you have a strong and uncontrollable fear of something, do your research.
Do you have phobias? Tell us! I will admonish you.
Hollywood is in shock! Beautiful Angelina Jolie
, sex goddess, took it and... cut off her breasts! Replaced the beautiful bust donated by Nature with an artificial one!
For what? Has the 37-year-old star lost her mind? And where is her husband, 49-year-old handsome Brad Pitt,
? Why didn’t you talk me out of this crazy step?
"She's a hero!"
But Brad Pitt
... immensely happy!
“This day was the happiest for our family,” he says. — Angelina
- just a hero for daring to undergo such an operation! The process of breast removal and subsequent reconstruction took three months. And all this time I was next to my wife and supported her. We even found moments in this that we laughed at together!
In unison, they “sing an ode of praise” to Jolie’s
and her relatives: older brother
James Haven
and father
Jon Voight
.
“I have no words to express my admiration for my daughter,” says 74-year-old John
. — Angelina is a brave woman!
“My sister is brave,” agrees 40-year-old James
. “She, like our mother, takes care of her children, doing everything for their happiness!”
Yes, precisely for the sake of Jolie's
and lay down under the surgeon’s scalpel!
“There lives in me a defective gene that causes breast and ovarian cancer,” explains the Hollywood star. “It was inherited from my mother.” The doctors said: 87 percent out of 100 that I will have a breast tumor! And then I decided to minimize the risk. First, I had a prophylactic mastectomy - removal of the mammary glands, and then with the help of implants they made a new breast. She is the same as before - only small scars. But the main thing is that I can tell my children: “Don’t be afraid that you will lose your mom to cancer anymore!”
And now the actress is preparing for... removal of the ovaries! After all, doctors said that Angelina’s
50 percent.
“I don’t want to be afraid of dying and not seeing how my children and grandchildren grow up!” - says the star. - I want to live for them. And I encourage all women with a hereditary predisposition to cancer to follow my example!
What's this? Should we cut off in advance all organs that could be affected by the tumor? Angelina Jolie gone crazy?
due to panic fear of cancer?
“Mommy, don’t die!”
But at first glance it seems that the artist has gone crazy. American psychologists and oncologists believe that the star did the right thing!
...That dark day January 27, 2007 Jolie
will never forget.
She held the hand of her mother, 56-year-old French actress Marcheline Bertrand
, and prayed in tears: “Mommy, just don’t die!”
But alas, her soul was already far away. The woman was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the late 90s. For nine years , Marcheline
desperately fought against insidious cancer! But he still killed her.
“My mother and I were very close,” Angelina Jolie
. “She broke up with dad when my brother and I were still little. Father's career took off, and mother gave all of herself to us! It was only thanks to her that I became an actress... Mommy left so early! For a long time I couldn’t even look at her photographs without sobbing. I wouldn’t wish what I went through after losing my mother to my enemy! And even more so for your children!
And the actress has six of them: three adopted - 12-year-old Maddox
, eight-year-old
Zahara
and nine-year-old
Pax Tiena
, and three relatives from a civil marriage with
Brad Pitt
- seven-year-old
Shiloh Nouvel
and four-year-old twins
Knox Leon
and
Vivienne Marcheline
.
And since there is a chance to prevent them from seeing their mother dead ahead of time, we must take it! After all, American experts are sure: the operations that Jolie
saved her life. By removing her breasts, the actress reduced her risk of cancer to five percent. And by removing the ovaries, it will bring it to one.
The whole truth about “female” cancer!
Where do tumors in the breast and ovaries come from and how to avoid becoming a victim of this insidious disease?
Heredity plays a big role in the development of breast and ovarian cancer, oncologists warn. Here's the thing. There are two genes - BRCA1 and BRCA2. Their presence in the female body increases the risk of tumor formation.
With BRCA1: breast cancer - up to 87%; ovaries - up to 50%.
With BRCA2: breast cancer - up to 95%; ovaries - up to 27%.
The most unpleasant thing is that such genes can be transmitted through the maternal line. But even if your grandmother, mother, sister or aunt was diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer, this does not mean that you have a defective gene. How can this be checked? Get tested to determine if you are a carrier of a mutation known in the family (BRCA1/2, CHEC2, P53 genes). Find out at your local clinic whether it is possible to take such a test for free. If not, you will have to shell out 1000 rubles.
Who else is at risk?
Heredity is not the only factor that increases the likelihood of tumor formation. You are at risk if:
1. You are overweight. Adipose tissue accumulates carcinogens - harmful substances that can cause the degeneration of healthy cells into cancerous ones; 2. We gave birth to our first child after 30 years. About 25% of breast cancer cases are due to this. Also, the risk of cancer in the female part increases if you did not breastfeed your baby; 3. The first menstruation began before the age of 12. Or menopause came late - after 55 years. The longer estrogens—female sex hormones—are produced, the higher the risk;
4. You are over 45 years old. With age, anti-cancer immunity weakens.
Take care of yourself!
Even if you are not at risk, take care of prevention! Unfortunately, no one is immune from cancer. That's why:
1. Perform a breast self-examination once a month (See below for how to do this.) If you notice any warning signs, do not delay in visiting a doctor.
2. Visit a mammologist once a year - undergo an ultrasound of the mammary glands or mammography (breast image). And if you are in a risk group, then 2 times a year.
3. Examination by a gynecologist - 2 times a year. If necessary, the specialist will refer you for an ultrasound of the ovaries and pelvic organs.
Important! If a specialist suspects the presence of a tumor, do not panic. Don't be afraid to find out the truth. Get your prescribed tests and examinations as soon as possible. The sooner the disease is detected, the better. About 90-95% of breast and ovarian cancers are completely cured in the early stages.
Is surgery necessary?
If the test shows that you have defective BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, you may be offered surgery to remove your breasts and ovaries. But before you agree, think it over carefully.
Please note that a high risk of cancer is not an indication for surgery. This means that no one will do it for free. Removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) will cost from 20,000 rubles, breast (mastectomy) - from 50,000 rubles, and implantation of implants - from 140,000 rubles. In addition, “bad” heredity does not guarantee that you will get cancer. And after an oophorectomy, important hormones will no longer be produced. Without them, bones will become brittle and facial hair may grow. Of course, there is replacement therapy. But are you ready to be on hormones for the rest of your life?
You should agree to radical measures only in one case - if panic fear of cancer prevents you from living.

For preventive surgery to remove both breasts for fear of getting cancer. Sobesednik.Ru remembered 15 more famous women who underwent mastectomy.
1. In an effort to be absolutely healthy, Angelina Jolie
Not only her husband
Brad Pitt
and children supported her, but also famous actors and public figures.
In Russia, perhaps the most famous “victim” of breast removal is Masha Gessen
, who thus reduced the likelihood of getting cancer by more than 90 percent. The Russian and American journalist, like Jolie, could have developed breast cancer with a very high probability due to poor heredity. Masha wrote a book about her difficult choice and what she had to endure after the operation, which they still hesitate to translate and publish in Russia.
Masha already - especially since even after the operation, Angie heads not only our top ten brave ones, but also more than one hit parade of the most beautiful women in the world.
2. Some Russians, however, know more about how another writer, Daria Dontsova
. The writer has done and is doing a lot to popularize information about the disease and the fight against this destructive disease in Russia.
Nancy Reagan was one of the first celebrities to undergo breast removal surgery.
and
Betty Ford
. Both were diagnosed with breast cancer. The operation was a success, and since then more and more women have chosen mastectomy as a way to fight breast cancer.
5. Barbie doll inventor Ruth Handler
did not remain in debt to the doctors: having recovered and headed the company, she directed part of the corporation’s production forces to produce implants for survivors of mammary gland removal.
6. American movie star Maura Tierney, best known to Russians for her role in the TV series “Emergency,” performed a double operation to remove her
breasts
.
7. On American rock singer Sheryl Crow
Everything happened at once: radical surgery and separation from my husband. She, however, did not give up, and the album, released by the artist after recovery, is considered by critics to be one of the best in her discography.
8. Comedian Wanda Sykes
, known, among other things, as a voice actor in cartoons (“Forest Tale,” “Ice Age,” etc.) The cancer was discovered in time by pure chance: ductal carcinoma was discovered by her attending physician during a breast reduction operation. “I made the decision because I love life, even though it was scary,” the actress said.
9. Christina Applegate
(the series “Friends” and the films “Aliens in America”, “The View from the Top” and “Alvin and the Chipmunks 2”) underwent surgery, fearing a repetition of her mother’s story: like Angelina Jolie, doctors discovered the BRCA1 gene in the actress, which increased the risk diseases up to 87%. The actress was so scared that to reduce the risks, she opted for a double mastectomy, although the possibility of cancer was registered in only one of the breasts. “I didn’t want to go for examination every four months, I wanted to get rid of everything at once,” the actress noted. Soon both of her breasts were reconstructed with implants.
10. Ozzy Osbourne's wife Sharon was diagnosed with breast cancer. By that time, she had already undergone treatment for colon cancer. In November 2012, when Sharon Osbourne
When she heard her new diagnosis, she didn’t hesitate for a minute. “I don’t even remember my breasts nostalgically,” said the TV presenter, producer and mother of three children.
Kathy Bates lost both breasts in a similar operation.
, who won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for the film Misery and is known for her role as the “unsinkable Molly Brown” in the film Titanic.
12. Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon
also underwent surgery, and it is her example that doctors often give to their patients, wanting to reassure those who are afraid of surgery, considering it a death sentence for their personal life.
13. TV presenter and journalist Giuliana Rancic
had a double mastectomy when a previous, less radical surgery did not get rid of her cancer cells. Mastectomy is recognized by doctors as the most effective way to save breast cancer: after the operation, doctors assured Juliana that the probability of developing the disease was now only 1%.
14. The BRCA2 gene, which indicates a high likelihood of breast cancer, was found in the British actress and pop singer, vocalist of the band “Liberty X” Michelle Heaton.
The 34-year-old singer decided to remove both breasts. The surgeons promised her to preserve her nipples during the operation (this, however, increases the risk of developing the disease), and instead of the breasts themselves, she was offered implants of her natural size.
15. Before Angelina Jolie decided to undergo radical surgery, the leader of women who survived breast removal due to cancer was singer Kylie Minogue.
Fans supported the artist and did not return tickets to the singer’s concerts, which were canceled due to her illness, and Kylie herself later gladly participated in campaigns to draw attention to the problem of breast cancer.
Most of all, women who decided to remove their breasts were afraid of too noticeable scars. The huge advantage of mastectomy is that the patient does not need to undergo a course of chemotherapy, and also that, unlike less radical operations, rapid and almost one hundred percent success is guaranteed.
The main beauty of Hollywood, Angelina Jolie, said that due to the high risk of developing a malignant tumor, she decided to undergo a complex operation - a double mastectomy. This is the complete removal of the mammary glands.
The actress entrusted her confession to the New York Times. In an interview, she said that her mother Marcheline Betrand died of ovarian cancer six years ago. Now doctors have found a “defective” BRCA1 gene in the star’s body. Experts estimate that Jolie's risk of developing breast cancer is 87 percent, and ovarian cancer is 50 percent.
“Having learned about this, I immediately decided to minimize the risk as much as possible and have a preventive mastectomy. “I decided to start with the breasts because my risk of developing breast cancer is higher and the surgeries are more complex,” Jolie says.
Angelina Jolie had both breasts removed.
Medical procedures lasted three months (from February 2 to April 27). As a result, doctors replaced both breasts with implants. By the way, during all these procedures the actress worked actively and kept everything secret. Now her chance of getting breast cancer has dropped to 5 percent.
Jolie also spoke about the attitude of her common-law husband Brad Pitt to the operation. He fully supported her.
“Now I tell my children that they don’t have to worry about losing me to breast cancer. And they don't see anything that could make them feel uncomfortable. Small scars - that's all, otherwise it's the same mother. They know that I love them and will do everything to be with them as long as possible."
The beauty is convinced that the operation does not detract from her femininity.
“I want all women reading this to understand that they have a choice. “I want to encourage all of you—especially those who have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer—seek information, seek out health professionals who can help you, and with information, make your own informed choices,” Jolie says.
It is known that the actress was treated at the Pink Lotus Medical Center. He specializes in the treatment of breast cancer. Earlier, singer Sheryl Crow successfully recovered from cancer there.
By the way, the Center promises to soon tell in detail about all the star’s procedures on its website.

Angelina Jolie had her mammary glands and ovaries removed: a justifiable risk
Two years ago, the actress shocked the public by radically solving the problem of her possible breast cancer - as tests showed, her probability of getting the disease was extremely high - 87 percent out of a hundred due to a mutation in the BRCA1 gene. Therefore, the actress simply went and went under the knife, where she had a mastectomy, that is, both mammary glands were removed.
Then Angie said that she planned to remove both the ovaries and fallopian tubes, since with a 50-75 percent chance she could develop cancer in these organs. The actress was condemned by many for having undergone such an operation, but she explained: “I went through this in order to be able to live, love, see my children grow up, and meet my grandchildren.” Brad Pitt's wife actually decided to start all these health measures for a reason - her mother, aunt and grandmother died of breast and ovarian cancer.
Angelina Jolie had her mammary glands and ovaries removed: by inheritance
Jolie's main fears were related to the fact that her close relatives had breast and ovarian cancer. Indeed, cancer of the breast, ovaries, uterus, prostate and intestines is most often inherited. But this does not mean at all that these organs need to be disposed of. Experts simply recommend consulting an oncologist, determining the degree of risk and following an observation plan.
Up to 10 percent of all women have risks like Jolie's, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to have their breasts and ovaries removed. This is too radical prevention. 20-30 years ago in Russia, when cancer was detected and the mammary glands were removed, the ovaries were also removed, but since then diagnosis and treatment have come a long way. Nowadays, cancer is detected at an early stage and treated in other ways.
In total, more than 30 markers are known today—indicators that can be used to predict the risk of developing various types of cancer. In Russia, state oncology centers, as a rule, offer a basic version: 14 markers that allow one to determine predisposition to the most common types of cancer - breast, prostate, lung, etc. In commercial clinics, you can also undergo a more complete “predictive” examination, which will cost on average in the amount of about 30 thousand rubles.
Angelina Jolie had her mammary glands and ovaries removed: after surgery
As a result, Jolie went through the procedure of removing her ovaries. It was decided to leave the uterus, since none of Jolie’s relatives had cancer of this organ.
According to the 39-year-old actress, she is now going through menopause and will no longer be able to have children. It's impossible to be completely cancer-free, but Jolie will look for every possible way to keep her immune system working perfectly. She feels feminine, and knows one thing - her children will never say: “My mother died of ovarian cancer.” Due to the hormones she is currently taking, Jolie is going through menopause. She will no longer have children, and she is expecting some changes in her psyche. No matter what happens, she will cope with it, not because she is strong. But because it is part of her life. And there is nothing to be afraid of. It's not easy to make such decisions. But it is possible to take control of your health. You can seek advice, learn more about the possibilities of being healthy and choose what is best for you. Knowledge is power.
