If by doing it the chances of getting cancer get reduced drastically, then one should definitely choose this option.

Re: Angelina Jolie mastectomy

It’s absolutely the right thing to do in my opinion and that was her choice to make. I don’t think it’s anybody’s business to sit here and judge her on her personal decisions. Infact, I feel that her publicizing this news increased awareness amongst other women to get genetic testing done especially if there is a chance of them carrying the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation gene and/or any breast/ovarian cancer family history.
