Maybe, you would decide differently, and that is your right.

The real question for me is did the surgery actually reduce her risk of cancer.

My wife has a family history of breast cancer and I can tell you these are very real, very important decisions.

Michael,
She was advised she had an 87% probability of getting breast cancer.
By having this surgery, she has reduced it to 5%.

Also, her mother died of cancer at 52.

Christina Applegate made the same decision due to the same reasoning as Angelina.
