Angelina Jolie says she had double mastectomy

[J]

What a loss this is! It's understandable why she did it and it was a
courageous decision but; without those great boobs, in two years time
she'll be referred to "what's-her-name".

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) � Angelina Jolie says that she has had a
preventative double mastectomy after learning she carried a gene that
made it extremely likely she would get breast cancer.

As CBS 2�s Dana Tyler reported, Jolie said the decision was not easy,
but she is happy she made it.

The Oscar-winning actress and partner to Brad Pitt made the
announcement in the form of an op-ed she authored for Tuesday�s New
York Times under the headline, �My Medical Choice.�

Yeah, sure. Like how America embraces fat black actresses when their
roles in one or two notable movies are over.

Yeah, because she has no acting talent.

Besides, she had reconstructive surgery with implants, so she's really
not gonna be any different from any other woman with fake boobs.

So your sick fantasies are still valid.

Have you read her piece in the NYTimes?

Every time I see her interviewed I am massively impressed with her
intelligence and knowledge. And now we know she's got guts to talk about
a subject that nobody talks about, another closet that people are in.

The fact that she's nuts doesn't affect that. Nor the fact that she's
the hottest women on the planet.

And it sounds like Brad's being a prince. <sigh>

Maybe Miss Jolie can have her brain removed and placed in a life support
system, that way she'll never have to worry about getting skin cancer,
or liver cancer, or bone cancer. But brain cancer is always a risk.

I find it interesting that it is now socially acceptable to stand around
the office water cooler with my female co-workers and openly discuss
nipple-bypass surgery without risking a sexual harassment lawsuit.

She hung on to her nipples, apparently, which is supposed to make all the difference.

First, she had a rebuild. But I remember when TOmb Raider came out, she
made comments about how she wished they hadn't enhanced her bosom, and in
the next movie it apparently wasn't so exaggerated.

So if they can use special effects then, they can continue to give her
ampble bosom if it's needed.

On the other hand, she has such a nice face, that's her real appeal.

Because lord knows there's no kind of synthetic replacement for real
breast tissue out there.

[Mike Painter]

I've not paid a lot of attention to her but am a bit surprised J would
mention her at all.

I've only seen Tomb Raider and she played a strong intelligent woman,
more than the equal of the men around her.

I imagine J *might* go for one of the realistic sex toys if he could
afford it, but a cheap blow up doll would complete his fantasy about
women.

I highly recommend you see "Changeling", directed by Clint Eastwood and
written by J. Michael Straczynski (yes, the B5 jms). She was nominated
for an Oscar for her performance.

<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0824747/combined>

Highly highly recommended.

They don't, but she's got it. See "Changeling" for confirmation.

Self-loathing woman-hating J has no sexual interest in women other

I applaud her decision, and her willingness to be so open about. For
better or worse, celebrity endorsements have a HUGE effect on how people
think about things, especially young women. For a well known actress, for
whom "sex appeal" is a big part of her image, to voluntarily undergo
prophylactic mastectomy, and be willing to publicize it, is going to save
a lot of lives in the years ahead, including, possibly, her own.

Hopefully, it will also draw more attention to the continuing
embarrassment that is the US health care system. A few years ago, most
insurance companies wouldn't cover breast reconstruction, as it was
considered "cosmetic". After all, the reconstructed breast can't make
milk; it's just for show. Eventually, a federal law was passed requiring
that breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer must be
a covered service. I don't know if it is a mandate that reconstruction
must be covered following prophylactic mastectomy, as there is, by
definition, no breast cancer present. Angelina can pay for breast
reconstruction with the change she finds between her sofa cushions. 99.9%
of other women are not so lucky.

Just one more case of intrusive government messing up people's lives by
forcing private industry to pay attention to something besides making as
much money as possible.

If she received an Oscar while getting a double mastectomy that would be

If you have a 81% chance of getting all of those and your mother had
died at a relatively young age of a similar thing I think you would do
the same.

She was right and charitable to announce it to the world.

The pure ignorance from some people over this issue is astounding.

Indeed.

And it was actually an 87% chance of breast cancer and 50% chance of
ovarian cancer (which is what her mother died of).

She now has a lower than 5% chance of breast cancer and after she has
her ovaries removed, probably later this year, the chance of ovarian
cancer will be completely gone.

This has generated all kinds of conversations on related issues. Like
the fact that the genetic test costs $3000 and the company that does
them has a monopoly. In the ACA, these tests are covered, but
pre-existing policies will be grandfathered in without that requirement.
Melissa Harris-Perry had a great discussion on the subject yesterday:

After her hysterectomy will Angelina have her tattoos removed too? With so
make prophylactic surgeries removing body parts, the artist ink will be
the only thing gluing her together. I can visualize her, tattoo free,
jumping out of bed one morning and her butt falling off.

I'd say that's a bit overstated, if the NY Times op-ed piece is any
indication. Really, it's about Oprah-Winfrey-level.

I'm not trying to be overly critical, since this would be valuable
reading for a lot of people. Then again, considering what nonsense
regularly appears in the Op-Ed section of the Times, this is at least
sensible.

I was trying to avoid using 'female castration' because it sounds

Then you can just say 'having her ovaries removed', which can be done
without doing a hysterectomy. Besides, the rest of your premise is
seriously flawed....

[thinbluemime]

Angelina gets to decide what is best for her body, but it disturbs me when
healthy human tissue and organs are removed in a preemptive attack on a
non-existing threat, even when the supposed odds of a cancer risk are high.

I hope Angelina lives long and happy.

[Mason Barge]

Breasts are non-functional if you don't have babies to feed. You'd be
nuts *not* to have them removed with a 50% chance of cancer. It's the
equivalent of an appendectomy.

Ovaries are a tougher call, since they're an endocrine gland as well
as egg-producer, but a) a woman is going to go through menopause
anyway and 2) she says she has an *87%* chance of ovarian cancer,
which is also a really bad cancer to get. I'd let them cut off a lot
more important organ than ovaries to avoid dying of cancer.

It doesn't exist today, but given the percentages that she will get at
least some form of cancer I can't blame her. Treatment is never fun
and there's no guarrantee that treatment will give a long life, even
if you catch the cancer early. Given her money, her relatively young
age, the fact that her mother died of cancer and the high likelihood
of getting a similar cancer I think she made the right decision for
her situation.

>I hope Angelina lives long and happy.

I do too.

I'm two years out from getting a kind of breast cancer with only a 40%
five year survival rate. I hope I'm in that 40 percent bracket.
Watching the other'un *very* carefully. No, Miss Jolie did the right thing.
