Subject: RE: Prophylactic cancer surgery - Angelina Jolie
I think it was very smart on her part. VERY SMART. I also think genetic testing and preventative surgery should be available to women (men too) who's family history suggests that it's very likely cancer will develop.

Deciding to have the genetic testing alone is nerve wracking....do you REALLY want to know? Tough decision. Even harder? Going ahead with the surgery....but so, so smart.
