She's fortunate that she can afford to pay for what is undoubtedly and expensive medical procedure. It just strikes me as an odd thing to do and I wondered what people think of it.
Next she’ll remove her legs to prevent her from tripping and falling.
I respect her for it. she is educating herself, getting as much info as she can and then making an informed decision. her objective is to remain alive for her children as long as she possibly can. I think that’s laudable, given she has the resources to pay for the procedures.
Hope she keeps out of the sun. Or at least uses chapstick.
Suicide has been proven to cut cancer risk 100%.
Nobody ever got cancer post suicide.

*DUH, is this woman a ditz or what?*
When married to Billy Bob Thornton, each also carried each other’s blood around in a vial around their neck.
If I were Brad, I’d seriously be looking around the house for a loose screw.
CNN is using this to skip having to cover Hillary’s email/foreign donations scandal. CNN is soo predictable.
Good for her. If diabetes ran in my family, I would take extra precautions to avoid getting diabetes myself later on.
She is wise to eliminate the risks that could kill her.
Did she keep her uterus? If so why?
The surgeries are prudent in her case. She has a very high risk of having cancer in her lifetime.
The poor thing.
And now I'm reminded about the double mastectomy that I tried to forget.
I was watching Fox news this morning and the Dr was going on and on about how great AJ was to be proactive and do this. He was also pushing that EVERYONE get baselines and expensive testing. Does he realize that average people can’t afford to get 2nd and 3rd opinions and genetic testing and elective surgery? My expensive insurance only pays for 2 Dr visits a year with $35 copay and then everything is out of pocket until I reach my $10,000 deductible. I had to turn him off.
She has genetic markers and a family history that predisposes her to certain types of cancer. In the case of breast cancer, she had an 87% chance of developing that type of cancer per Dr. Samadi on Fox. In the case of ovarian cancer her chance was 51%. With that information, her decisions seem reasonable.
It seems a bit paranoid to me.

Now she better load up on a hormone replacement treatment or she’s gonna dry up and masculinize fast

At a combined net worth approaching $300 million the surgery cost was a drop in the bucket.
Virtually none of these resections of tissue will prevent the onset of cancer by the triggering of the BRAC1 gene by whatever triggers cancer cells to form. This is not advised “prevention”.
