Angelina Jolie's Doctor Explains Her Double Mastectomy Decision
. Mario: "Did she know right away that she was going to have the double mastectomy?" Dr. Funk: "She didn't have it right away, but probably knew with her family history that it was a choice she would eventually make�Her decision was not made overnight�It wasn't based in fear." Mario: "Did you know eventually she'd go public?" Dr. Funk: "I knew that was her intention� She is just philanthropic to the core. She could never keep this a secret, and be who she is! She is someone who wants to save lives and she is doing that every day!" Mario: "How's she doing now?" Dr. Funk: "Perfect!" Mario: "Was Brad by her side? I imagine you got to meet him. Was he cool?" Dr. Funk: "Incredibly cool�The coolest!" Mario: "Do you feel more pressure when you're working on a big star like Angelina? Dr. Funk: "I delve into a slightly more creative mode than maybe I've ever gone into in my life, knowing that it would be publically scrutinized�I developed some really new and beautiful changes to both the preparation for surgery, and the actual operation." Mario: "What does every woman who has the brca1 gene need to know about the double mastectomy?" Dr. Funk: "The mastectomy is not necessary even if you have the BRCA gene and you have breast cancer." Mario: "So what are some other options?" Dr. Funk: High risk surveillance. MRI's, mammograms, ultra sounds�Combine it throughout the year so that at any given month or two, something is happening to look at your breasts." more on this story Extra submitted this story.
