Angelina Jolie has no regrets about her decision to have a double mastectomy and ovary removal. The 50-year-old star opted for the procedures after learning she carries the BRCA gene mutation, which dramatically heightens breast and ovarian cancer risks.
The Hollywood icon, famed for her work in Tomb Raider and her recent picture Maria, spoke candidly about the operations in a chat with Hello! magazine, revealing how witnessing her mum and grandmother's cancer battles influenced her choice.
