Angelina Jolie: I had double mastectomy because of high breast cancer risk
I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.
On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.
Wow.

20-30 Female, beautiful, racist. Actress MUST have an amazing sense of humor.
Wow. Listen to this.

I lived in a Soho loft at a very busy corner in Manhattan for over a year and Jason’s office was across from my room. When around, he was hunkered down over his keyboard with a stool holding a pot of tea near him. Solid human.
