So has her desirability. I'm just sayin'.Many advancements have been made recently in this area. She very well may be doing this for nothing.
Maybe, but what we do know is that her risk of getting breast cancer has dropped from 87% to 5%.
I just told you, and I think you're missing the point I was making. She may have done it unnecessarily. Amazing progress has been made in recent years regarding breast cancer. I personally think she made a mistake and I also think Brad will lose interest in her because of it.Your wife had her breasts removed? I am sorry to hear that - but you still love her, despite saying that she wouldn't be as attractive with her natural breasts.
So what is your real opinion on women who have their breasts removed?
Progress has been made, but that progress doesn't extend to actually curing it. Jolie has eliminated the need for chemo and radiation should she ever be diagnosed.

Many times it's personal choice. Some women decide to opt for treatment such as chemotherapy etc. but the downside is the chances of it coming back are greater than mastectomy.Many advancements have been made recently in this area. She very well may be doing this for nothing.

A wise but difficult decision - [My comment]
(CNN) -- Actress Angelina Jolie announced in a New York Times op-ed article on Tuesday that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carries the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
"My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman," Jolie wrote. "Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy."

IMHO, preventive surgery like this is pretty presumptuous by the doctors and the patient. The gene doesn't mean you will get breast cancer, it just means you could get it. The 87% number isn't entirely accurate either. They get the number from the people who had breast cancer and had that gene. Say they checked 100 people who breast cancer for that gene and found 87 of them had the gene. That's not realistic to claim or insinuate if you have the gene there's and 87% chance you will get breast cancer.
Also having the gene doesn't necessarily mean cancer at all, much less a specific type of cancer. If you are healthy and take care of yourself,which Jolie should considering her profession, the risks are even less.
Can't help but feel the doctor who did the procedure also did the reconstruction as well, or at least was in a partnership with the reconstructive surgeon anyway. It seems like a drastic measure to take for a possible threat..

Wow, I guess that rules out it being odd celebrity behavior. Still worry that this kind of thing could be abused by some doctors..

Don't kid yourself, "Male breast cancer is cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men. Though breast cancer is most commonly thought of as a woman's disease, male breast cancer does occur.Being a man I admit that I am unqualified to opine about the subject of breast cancer.

Male breast cancer is most common in older men, though male breast cancer can occur at any age.
Men diagnosed with male breast cancer at an early stage have a good chance for a cure. Still, many men delay seeing their doctors if they notice unusual signs or symptoms, such as a breast lump. For this reason, many male breast cancers are diagnosed when the disease is more advanced."

The influence a celebrity has on society can cause a ripple effect in behavior and attitude both positively and negatively. I hope the hucksters, quacks and bloodsuckers stay away from this issue.
Shouldn't they call it "Pec Cancer"?Don't kid yourself, "Male breast cancer is cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men.
