    A Jolie

     Hi something on the news said a b lood test had indicated perehaps OvCa  CA#?- if pathology is positive - she'd still have to have chemo

     

    another news articlke called her so brave & My husb said" how about those oif you fighting it?

     

     

    my opinioin : if you are donewith children & the docs are in there anyway get rid of ovs & tubes.

     

     

    I had a  partial hysterectomy at about 40 because  of prolapse  they kept ovaries because of my age.  I would advise young gals to really consider &that a few more hot flashes are better than having OvCa.

     

    at least she is raising awareness.

     

    Just my thots
