Angelina Jolie's Double Masectomy

Tears, people.  And yes, it was a radical choice, but what a brave one all the same.  Her mom died from breast cancer when she was 56, so yeah.  Rock on, sheila.

PS, she also talks about the prohibitively high cost of genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 (the genes that put you at a much higher risk for breast and ovarian cancer than those without it) which I think is an important part of the conversation too.
