Personally, I think she simply is getting older, wanted a boob job, but then her publicist thought of a way for her to get one without getting negative press. Not really rocket science. I'm really surprised the MSM (and the public) are falling for it, but then again, I really shouldn't be.
If she wanted to have her boobs done she would have done what all celebrities do, find a expensive and discrete plastic surgeon have the operation then lie about it to the press as soon as anyone asks about it.

I'm not dissing her for it. I actually think it's a rather clever move. I'm simply not buying it. I think the reason for the drastic step is that she's using the cancer gene issue as justification for it (I don't think she is lying, just capitalizing on the fact). Her mother died in 2007 of ovarian cancer, so a good chance Angelina was well aware of whether or not she carried the BRCA1 gene back then. If for health reasons, why not do it 6 years ago?

You are not mistaken.
Her Mother did die from breast cancer and she has the gene that causes her to be very high risk.
If you had to make the decision to have your testicles removed to avoid testicular cancer, wouldn't you put it off as long as you reasonably could?
I just disagree entirely and think your views are cure and disrespectful to her.

No. Not at all. Especially if it meant enhancing what is down there, if I wished it.
80 something percent chance of cancer? And I have millions of dollars? And I could make improvements? And I could get good press from it?
I'd have the best surgeons in the world on speed dial within the day.

Like I said, maybe he "had to go". Maybe he's the poster child set up to maintain your neuronal constructs that there's nothing sinister about the cancer industry? Who is anyone to say?
Oh, lookie, one rich billionaire dies of Metastatic Insulinoma of the pancreas. There's the PROOF: no "cure" for "cancer".edit on 14-5-2013 by IgnoranceIsntBlisss because: (no reason given)

By the way, for me, AJ showed a lot of character and bravery doing this, because she also showed that for her there is MORE than simply superficial "looks".

Yet somehow, she's being made to be a martyr, instead of the adulteress, home-wrecker, and general wack-a-doo she is. Oh well. She's hot and popular, so guess that makes everything else ok.

I seriously doubt the mortality rate of a mastectomy is much different than the rate for breast augmentation surgery, which, if accepting my hypothesis, would be something she was willing to risk anyhow.
Besides, it's obvious that she's at least had rhinoplasty in the past, and Botox injections, so she's obviously no stranger to such procedures...

She ends up with flapjacks after the mastectomy, and I'll chime right in there with you on her bravery.
