I hope that others draw comfort from this

Wow! I didn't realise...but we'll done her on taking such a brave stand against such a horrible disease. I cannot imagine how it must feel knowing that your mother died from a cancer that you have an 80% chance of developing.

I've always thought I would do this in these circumstances, but reality is always different. Especially brave considering the image obsessed industry Angelina is part of.

That is a very good article and there will be women reading that today as they are in hospital for mastectomy. It can only help. I wish Angelina a continued recovery from surgery and many, many, many peaceful and healthy years with her chidlren.
