Has had her breasts removed due genetic propensity to breast cancer.
Baring in mind the fact that all operations carry a risk, including the possibility of death, and the fact that she was not actually ill, would anyone on here do the same/male equivalent (if there is one) or recommend it to a loved one? To add to the debate, consider that her career has been largely based on her looks, in particular her curvy figure, and she's not that great an actress imo, is her acting career over? Is it worth doing what she's done based purely on a risk of illness, not actual illness?
Personally I'm undecided. Generally I'm against surgery that is not necessary to correct a medical condition but in this case she was advised that she had an 87% chance of developing breast cancer. I wonder how accurate that figure really is and how I would feel should my wife be given the same information.
