Now that Angelina Jolie has made the brave admission that she took preventive measures to make sure she doesn’t get cancer, how will her double mastectomy affect her career as an actress?
Dr. Maurie Markman, the National Director of Medical Oncology at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (who has not personally treated Angelina) tells us how the surgery might affect her daily life.
“The surgeries themselves will change her in no way. She is the same person she was before the procedure and after the procedure,” he tells Hollyscoop.
Angelina revealed that she was tested and discovered that she had mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, meaning she had an 87% chance of getting breast cancer and a 50% chance of getting ovarian cancer.
Angelina DID get reconstructive surgery on her breasts (meaning implants), so why did she tell us about it? She could have slipped under the radar and no one would have known
