Former companion of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, opened her heart for the first time with a double mastectomy scar.
The famous actress wanted to share her experience with other women so they can stop frightening them into making this crucial decision in their lives by choosing the pages of TIME magazine's French edition.
" I love some people, and I have these marks. In an interview Jolie gave to the release, Jolie says," I often get emotional when I see other people sharing own. "
The artist is seen touching her shoulder with her right hand while she is standing against a white background on the magazine cover.
Angelina, who has played a key role in early breast cancer diagnosis, is grateful for her dedication to prevent other women from suffering like she did when she lost her mother to the condition.
For women with evident risk factors or a major family history, genetic testing and testing may be accessible and affordable, Jolie told the publication, and the whole interview can be found here. This Thursday, December 18, it will be available.
Angelina Jolie passed away in 2007 at the age of 56 from her mother, artist Marcheline Bertrand, after being diagnosed with cancer. Due to the possibility that she too might develop cancer in the future, she took action to prevent becoming a part of the data, but her bravery significantly reduced the possibilities.
My risk of developing breast cancer has decreased from 87 % to less than 5 %. In a New York Times opinion piece from May 2013, she wrote," I can tell my kids that they don't need to fear losing me to breast cancer. "
