In April 2013 Angelina wrote an op-ed for The New York Times revealed that after learning she carried a "faulty gene" that increases the chances of breast and ovarian cancer, she opted to have her breasts and ovaries removed. "On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved," she wrote. "During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work. But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people's hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."
