My Mastectomy Scars Prove That My Children Won’t Lose Me To Cancer – Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie

Popular Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has publicly showed her mastectomy scars. She recently shared why she is now showing the world the results of her double mastectomy more than a decade after she underwent the preventive procedure in 2013.

According to her, she had to undergo the procedure after doctors found out that she had a faulty gene which significantly increased her risk of breast cancer, and every woman should be able to determine her own healthcare journey.

Jolie added that genetic testing and screening should also be more accessible and affordable for women with clear risk factors or a significant family history.

Her words, “I share these scars with many women I love. And I’m always moved when I see other women share theirs.

I wanted to join them, knowing that TIME France would be sharing information about breast health, prevention, and knowledge about breast cancer.

Every woman should always be able to determine her own healthcare journey and have the information she needs to make informed choices: genetic testing and screening should be accessible and affordable for women with clear risk factors or a significant family history.

When I shared my experience in 2013, it was to encourage informed choices. Healthcare decisions must be personal, and women must have the information and support they need to make those choices. Access to screening and care should not depend on financial resources or where someone lives.

Hardships, illnesses, and pain are part of our existence, but what matters is how we face them.

My mother was ill for years. One evening, when she was being asked about her chemotherapy, she became very emotional and told me she would have preferred to talk about something else; she felt as though the illness was becoming her entire identity.

My upcoming film titled “Couture” tells a story that goes far beyond the journey of a sick person: it shows life. It was this luminous perspective that touched me and made me want to play this role.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
