Actress Angelina Jolie is reportedly ‘getting ready’ to undergo a hysterectomy, a year after she had a double mastectomy.
The 38-year-old, whose mother Marcheline Bertrand died of breast and ovarian cancer in 2007, underwent a double mastectomy last year after discovering she carried the BRCA1 gene, giving her a high chance of contracting both the types of cancer, which her mother suffered from, and is now preparing to have another operation.
‘My mother had breast and ovarian cancer so I have that lingering... I'm getting ready for that one (a hysterectomy) at some point,’ contactmusic.com quoted her as saying. Jolie’s fiance, Brad Pitt is proud of her decisions. ians
