Angelina Jolie's Breast Removal Photos: Double Mastectomy


Angelina Jolie decided to remove her two breast, her decision to have a double mastectomy to reduce her risk of breast cancer. Angelina jolie's mother died at age 56 from Ovarian cancer. Ms. Jolie revealed on Tuesday that because she carries a cancer-causing mutation, she has had a double mastectomy. Ms. Jolie wrote on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times that she had tested positive for a genetic mutation known as BRCA1, which left her with an exceedingly high risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer.

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt has said he fully supports his partner Angelina Jolie's decision to go public on having a double mastectomy. Brad Pitt says his wife's decision was "absolutely heroic", and that he wants her to have a "long and healthy life" with their family.

Ms. Jolie, 37, who declined to be interviewed for this article, was treated at the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills, Calif., a clinic opened in 2009 by Dr. Kristi Funk, identified on its Web site as a former director of patient education at the breast center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

"I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she wrote Tuesday in a newspaper op-ed piece.

Her decision makes sense to others who've been there. We want to end the constant fear, and we don't want our children to suffer the same loss we have: By Anna Gorman
