Back in 2013 Angelina Jolie announced that she had undergone a mastectomy, a surgery to remove all breast tissue from her breasts which reduces the risk of getting cancer.
The tough decision was taken by the actor due to her testing positive for the BRCA1 gene, something which put her at an extremely high risk of getting either the breast or ovary forms of the disease.
