Angelina Jolie, who won much praise for her revelation that she
underwent double mastectomy, is now planning to undergo another surgery.
According to People magazine, the 37-year-old actress wants to have
her ovaries removed to ensure that she remains cancer-free, News.com.au
reported.
Jolie recently made an announcement about having both her breasts
removed after discovering that she carried a faulty gene which put her
at 87 percent chance of contracting breast cancer, which reduced that
risk to 5 per cent.
However, the doctors have still given Jolie a 50 per cent chance of developing ovarian cancer.
