Angelina
Jolie is now planning to have her ovaries removed, following a double
mastectomy after discovering she's a carrier of the BRCA1 gene, that
causes cancer. The
37-year-old actress made the brave decision to have three months of
secret procedures after being told she had an 87% chance of contracting
breast cancer.
And now,
Angelina is said to already be planning her next surgery - the removal
of both her ovaries - as the gene means she has a 50% chance of
developing ovarian cancer. According to People magazine, Angelina
is likely to have the next procedures before she turns 40, as doctors
recommend having the surgery done after child-bearing age.
After the surgery, Angelina will no longer be able to have biological children, although she still has the option to adopt.
Brave woman!
