It’s been over a year since Angelina Jolie wrote *that* letter in the New York Times, telling the world that she’d opted to have both of breasts removed as a preventative measure for breast cancer.
And now, one year on, the Hollywood star has spoken to Entertainment Weeklyabout her new movie Maleficent , but conversation quickly moved on to her health.
Angelina made the shock revelation that the situation is far from over, she told the magazine: “There’s still another surgery to have, which I haven’t yet [Jolie is also genetically at risk for ovarian cancer, which is what took her mother’s life at age 56]. I’ll, you know, I’ll get advice from all these wonderful people who I’ve been talking to, to get through that next stage.”
The mum-of-six says she doesn’t regret her choice to go for surgery as she has a great support team around her: “I feel very, very close — much closer — to other women, and women who are going through the same thing. Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women’s issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer. I’ve talked to men about their daughters’ and wives’ health. It makes me feel closer to other people who deal with the same things and have either lost their parents or are considering surgeries or wondering about their children.
