Angelina Jolie has confirmed she will have more cancer-preventing surgery, after a double mastectomy last year. The 38-year-old actress had the procedure after discovering she was at high risk of developing breast cancer. She decided to be proactive and to minimise the risk as much as she could.

She says she is more than happy to have had the surgery but also she says there is still another surgery to undergo. "There's still another surgery to have, which I haven't had yet. I'll get advice from all these wonderful people who I've been talking to, to get through that next stage," she said.
The mother-of-six has previously explained her reasons for having the surgery, arguing she needed to minimise her risk after her mother died from ovarian cancer aged 56.
In an article entitled My Medical Choice, she explained that her mother fought cancer for nearly a decade.
Jolie's partner, Brad Pitt, praised her choice as "absolutely heroic".
Doctors estimated the Hollywood star had an 87% risk of breast cancer and a 50% risk of ovarian cancer, because of genes she had inherited.
Moral of this story: Don't envy anybody.The Rich also have their problems.
