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
