Brave Girl: Angelina Jolie underwent a double mastectomy

Women hail 'brave' Jolie's mastectomy

The 37-year-old actress underwent a double mastectomy to minimise the risk that she might develop breast cancer as a result of inheriting a "faulty gene", and chose to publicise her surgery as an example to other women and mothers.

Her partner and fellow star actor Brad Pitt led a worldwide choir of praise, declaring her "heroic", followed by her doctors, fellow stars and thousands of supporters, who took to social media to praise her openness.

"We hope that the awareness she is raising around the world will save countless lives," Jolie's surgeon Dr Kristi Funk of the Pink Lotus Breast Centre in Los Angeles wrote on a blog, praising her patient's "bold choices".

Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 and passed on the "faulty" gene, BRCA1, that put the actress at higher risk.

Her doctors estimated she had an 87 per cent risk of developing breast cancer and a 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer, prompting Jolie - who has six children - to take action to reduce the chances that she might die at a young age.

Revealing the procedure in an article in The New York Times, Jolie said her chances of developing breast cancer are now just five per cent - although she still runs a relatively high risk of contracting ovarian cancer.

"I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex," she wrote.

"I can tell my children they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," said Jolie. She and Pitt, a Hollywood power couple dubbed "Brangelina" in the tabloids, have three adopted and three biological children.

Funk said Pitt "was on hand to greet her as soon as she came around from the anaesthetic, as he was during each of the operations.

The main surgery was on Saturday, February 16, and went smoothly, she wrote. Two days later, good news: "The pathology returned and I called Angelina to confirm our biggest hope: all of the breast tissue was benign.

"On day four after her mastectomies, I was pleased to find her not only in good spirits with bountiful energy, but with two walls in her house covered with freshly assembled storyboards for the next project she is directing.

"All the while she spoke, six drains dangled from her chest, three on each side, fastened to an elastic belt around her waist," she said.

The final operation was carried out on April 27, reconstructing the Oscar-winners' breasts with implants, which Funk sent "went extremely well, bringing an end to her surgical journey."

Jolie also described a several-stage surgical process, the main one of which is an operation that can take up to eight hours as the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place.

"You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life," she wrote.

The final phase of the process involved reconstruction of the breasts with implants, she said, adding: "There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years and the results can be beautiful."

Jolie thanked Pitt for his support, saying the couple had "managed to find moments to laugh together", and said she now only has only small scars that her children can see without alarm.

"They know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can," wrote the actress, who took home the best supporting actress Oscar in 2000 for Girl, Interrupted.

"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."

Jolie, respected for her humanitarian work overseas, said she was speaking out to help other women understand their options, and also to urge authorities to help women in lower-income countries to get the health care they need.
