Once the 37-year-old actress made public  through her article ‘ My medical choice’ that she underwent a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of developing breast cancer, yesterday People magazine published that the actress plans to also  remove her ovaries.

This decision would have been taken  after knowing that she has a 50% risk of developing ovarian cancer, since she is carrier of BRCA1, which drastically increases the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.

Apparently, after having a double mastectomy, the American actress has not experienced any complications. “She is well,” said a spokesman of Jolie to the magazine.
