    Brad Pitt: Angelina Jolie's decision to undergo double mastectomy is 'absolutely heroic'

    In article titled 'My Medical Choice' the Tomb Raider star writes describes taking drastic medical action to reassure her children she won't die of the disease that killed their grandmother aged 56.



    Brad Pitt today hailed the courage of his fiance Angelina Jolie after she revealed that she has undergone a double mastectomy to lower the risk of her getting breast cancer - the disease that killed her mother almost a decade ago.

    In an article for The New York Times entitled 'My Medical Choice,' Jolie says that she completed three months of medical procedures at the end of April that she had so far managed to keep out of the public eye.

    Jolie explains that her own mother died of breast cancer at the age of 56 and that she herself had the 'faulty' BRCA1 gene, which increased her chances of getting the disease to 87 per cent, and of getting ovarian cancer to 50 per cent.

    Pitt called her decision to undergo a double mastectomy 'absolutely heroic'

    Speaking to the Evening Standard, he said: “Having witnessed this decision first hand, I find Angie’s choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus'.

    He added: 'All I want for is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family.”

    Oscar-winning US actress Angelina Jolie has said she underwent a preventive double mastectomy. She chose the surgery after learning she carried a gene that makes it extremely likely she would get breast cancer.
    Angelina Jolie made the announcement in the form of an op-ed she authored for Tuesday's New York Times under the headline, 'My Medical Choice.'
    After genetic testing she learned she carries the 'faulty' BRCA1 gene and had an 87 percent chance of getting breast cancer herself.
    Jolie, 37, said that she made the choice to get the procedure done with thoughts of her six children after watching her own mother die of breast cancer at the age of 56.
    She said she wanted to share her story publicly with hope of helping other women.
    'I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made,' she wrote. 'My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.'
    Between early February and late April she completed the surgical procedures to remove both breasts and also completed a reconstruction with implants.
    'I do not feel any less of a woman,' Jolie writes. 'I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.'

    Angelina Jolie has revealed she has had a preventive double mastectomy to reduce her risk of developing breast cancer.

    Health campaigners praised her decision to go public with the news, which she said was prompted by a desire to encourage other women to get gene-tested and to raise awareness of the options available to those at risk.

    The actor has a defective gene, BRCA1, which doctors told her had increased her risk of developing breast cancer to 87%, and her risk of ovarian cancer, the disease that killed her mother at the age of 56, to 50%, she wrote in the New York Times.

    The surgery, which began in February, had reduced Jolie's risk of breast cancer to less than 5%, she said.

    'I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer,' she wrote. 'It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that's it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.'
    The 37-year-old, who has six children – three adopted and three with Brad Pitt, who was by her side for 'every minute of the surgeries' – finished three months of medical procedures on 27 April.

    Angelina Jolie has a double mastectomy: Film star takes agonising decision to have both breasts removed after learning she had an 87% risk of getting cancer

    * She began three months of secret procedures on February 2, finishing on April 27
    * Surgery was successful and her chances of getting breast cancer have decreased to less than 5%
    * Actress praised her fiancé Brad Pitt for being 'so loving and supportive'.


    Today Angelina Jolie revealed that she was forced to make the agonising decision to have a preventative double mastectomy, after tests showed she had an 87 per cent chance of contracting cancer.

    The actress opened up about her traumatic experience in a U.S. newspaper, saying that she made the decision to undergo the procedure in February after learning that she is a carrier of the deadly BRCA1 cancer gene.

    The 37-year-old's mother Marcheline Bertrand died at the age of 56 from ovarian cancer, which Angelina revealed she had a high chance of contracting.

    But the Hollywood star has not let the life-changing operation interfere with public engagements - she visited the Republic of Congo on March 26 on humanitarian duties and attended the G8 summit in London on April 11 with William Hague, after her initial operations but before the all the procedures had finished.

    Cancer scare causes Angelina Jolie to have double mastectomy

    Angelina Jolie has revealed she has undergone a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.

    The Oscar-winning actress made the decision to have both breasts removed as a preventative measure after discovering she had an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer.

    Tests revealed Jolie carries the defective gene, BRCA1, which significantly increases her risk of developing ovarian and breast cancer - the disease that killed her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, at the age of 56.

    Carriers of the defective gene have, on average, a 65 percent chance of eventually suffering from breast cancer. Following three months of procedures, the chances of the actress developing breast cancer has fallen to five percent.

    Jolie, who is also a Special Envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, says she has gone public is an effort to raise awareness for testing - though she acknowledges many in the US would not be able to afford the test or the treatment.
