Angelina Jolie had a huge medical scare

Angelina Jolie’s sensuality has always caused a commotion.

Her perfect features bothered a lot of people. But her reaction in one of the darkest moments of her life showed us how incredibly self-confident she’s and made her even more amazing.

Angelina has always been one of the most desired and admired women on the planet.
She is also one of the most envied... Especially for her relationship with Brad Pitt, with whom she built a beautiful family. Her life seemed perfect.

But in 2013, terrible news destroyed that illusion. Angela was face-to-face with one of her greatest fears.

“ My doctors estimated that I had an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 50% risk of ovarian cancer. “

The beautiful actress was devastated... The probability of developing the disease were very high. She couldn’t stop thinking about her children and the idea of not being around for them.
So she made a tough decision... and had both of her breast removed.

“ Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimise the risk as much as I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy.”

Thanks to that... Jolie reduced her risk of having cancer to only 5%.

“ I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer. “

The double mastectomy to prevent hereditary cancer marked Angelina’s life... but also showed us her strength and will to live .

“ I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity. I do not feel any less of a woman.”

She also became a source of inspiration

“ I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. “

Angelina proved that her value as a woman is not defined by her body... but by the strength and courage in her heart.
