5Angelina had a family history of cancer

Angelina’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, suffered from breast cancer in the past. She was actually successful in fighting the breast cancer but later on she died of ovarian cancer. Angelina was actually very sane and brave to go for double mastectomy as a preventive measure. Angelina took this decision because she was already knowing that she had inherited the BRCA gene. BRCA gene is a faulty gene and hence there was 87 per cent chances that she was going to have cancer in the future.
