In an op-ed published in the New York Times titled "My Medical Choice," she told the world that she had recently had surgery to remove both of her breasts. The procedure is called a double mastectomy. Thousands of women who have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer have it done every year, usually followed by surgeries to reconstruct their breasts. But Angelina did not have cancer. She was perfectly healthy. She had taken this drastic step because she had undergone genetic testing and been found to have mutations in a gene called BRCA1.
