Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy. Apparently her mother had breast cancer and Angelina herself carries a gene that puts her risk of breast cancer at 87%.

While tragic in an esoteric sense, her decision makes sense from a medical standpoint.

Don't worry, she'll still have implants.

Considering her love of her children, taking what is perhaps the one sure way to head off the health issues she could face was the best way for her to be there for them as they grew up. Good on her for making a decision that could not have been simple.

I had a friend who had breast cancer. It's definitely not funny. She survived, but only after a grueling year of chemo, radiation and surgery (she lost her left breast). The cancer eventually returned years later and took her out.

Can't say that I blame Ms. Jolie for doing what she did.
