Now that they have identified the specific gene the practice, especially in women who have a family history, is becoming more common

seems weird to me. I mean if they come to me and say they have identified a gene that says I MIGHT get testicular cancer I'm not going to rush out and get the ballz chopped off.
 
also, what if she still gets cancer. Is she going to sue the doctors that performed the surgery?
 
Zoners, I have a really nice wooden, rocking crib, or whatever its called, and a 3 level changing table sitting in my garage. Pretty nice stuff. Guy who was supposed to get them has backed out a couple of times. If anybody wants them, let me know. You would just need to pick them up.

It's a trap
 
So what exactly is the probability of someone with this gene getting breast cancer? If it's >20%, I can't blame her. If it's <5% it seems silly to me.

The article I read she said her probability of breast cancer was 87% and ovarian was around 50% but I'll double check the #'s. her mom died in her 50's of bc if I remember

Those are the right numbers. I agree with some that I don't care about any celebrity news, but this may be good to increase awareness for some.
 
Angelina Jolie has revealed she has had a preventative double mastectomy after tests showed she had an 87% chance of contracting breast cancer.
