Angelina Jolie Reportedly Will Remove Her Ovaries Next

Angelina is said planning to remove her ovaries
after having preventive double mastectomy,
because she still has 50 percent chance of
developing ovarian cancer.
Angelina Jolie has
revealed her brave act
to undergo double
mastectomy . However,
her medical challenge is
not over yet. PEOPLE
reported that the
mother of six would
have another surgery to
remove her ovaries.
Angelina is a carrier of
BRCA1 gene and she has
50 percent chance of
developing ovarian
cancer . As a preventive
measure, the surgery is
usually carried out when
women reach 40 or when they are done having
children. Removing the ovaries, however, may
trigger early menopause.
In regards to her condition, a source close to
her family told the magazine that the " Salt"
actress "is doing well" after undergoing double
mastectomy in February and reconstructive
surgery in April. The 37-year-old mother and
her fiance Brad Pitt have been trying to
maintain regular activities at home. According
to the source, "life was normal" for their six
children around the time of surgery.
Another insider added, "Her kids always come
first to her." The family carried out normal
activities such as exchanging gifts on
Valentine's Day and doing Easter egg hunt while
Angelina was under treatment.
Earlier this week, Angelina revealed in an op-
ed featured in New York Times that she had 87
percent of developing breast cancer and went
under the knife to cut the risk. "I can tell my
children that they don't need to fear they will
lose me to breast cancer," she wrote. Angelina
lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who
passed away at the age of 56, because of
ovarian cancer.
