Jolie reveals she had double mastectomy

The 37-year-old actor says she had preventive surgery to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer.

The actress and director Angelina Jolie has revealed she’s had a double mastectomy.

She had the operation after finding out she carried a gene that made it highly likely that she would get breast cancer.

The Hollywood actor finished three months of surgical procedures to remove both breasts and get reconstructive surgery.
