A Hollywood superstar goes public with a very personal announcement. Oscar-winning actress
Angelina Jolie announced Monday that she has undergone a preventative double mastectomy,
after learning that she had a very high risk of developing breast cancer. Jolie reveals
to the New York Times that "The decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is
one I am very happy that I made. I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they
will lose me to breast cancer." The actress goes on to explain that her partner Brad Pitt
and their six children contributed to her decision, and now she's speaking out to educate
other women in similar situations. We wish her well on her recovery from surgery, and
