I find it sad that she had to resort to this, but I can't say I blame her. My mom is on her 3rd round of breast cancer, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I don't blame Angelina in the least, and the assholes that have been bashing her, or making nasty, lewd comments need to just shut the fuck up and crawl back under their rocks.

There was breast cancer in her family, and her mom died of it, too.

Heck, they were HER boobs. What difference should it make to anyone else. If she was willing, so be it. It will probably extend her life.

we get men getting upset about a woman making a choice that affects her body.

I remember how she never felt healthy after she had the first mastactomy.

The next 19 years was full of false hopes and the inevatable news from the doctor, "it's come back..."

I don't blame Ms. Jolie one bit for doing what she did. I wish my mom would have had that
