Two years
after Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy to prevent the onset of breast
cancer, the actress has revealed that she has since had her ovaries removed due
to a second health scare.
The
39-year-old Maleficent star published a lengthy opinion piece, titled Angelina
Jolie Pitt: Diary Of A Surgery in the New York Times on Monday explaining
her decision.
Her
revelation comes as Brad Pitt was seen comforting his wife at Shiloh and
Zahara's soccer match. It's now clear the couple's affection came during
Angelina's agonizing wait to establish whether she had cancer - a fear which
ultimately prompted her to have surgery.
With her
ovaries and Fallopian tubes now gone, the mother-of-six has entered early
menopause and will not be able to have any more children, she writes in her
candid, deeply personal essay.
According to Leila Hanna, Consultant Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at Queen Mary's Hospital in London, she mentioned that removing one’s ovaries may reduce the risk of cancer but can spark another set of health problems such as an increased risk of heart disease and fragile bones

Angling Jolie, out of fear of CANCER, has removed her breasts and now her ovaries.
What is next? Liver and colon?
She is obviously a woman overcome by fear of fear itself.
Tough way to live, at this rate,soon she'll be left with no organs. I hope the fear of CANCER doesn't kill her before the disease does! A friends opinion. Lol
