AB In  May  2013,  actress  Angelina  Jolie  announced  some  startling  news.  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.
