Just two weeks after Angelina Jolie revealed she had a preventative double mastectomy to lower her risk of breast cancer, the actress' aunt has passed away after battling the disease. Jolie's uncle, Ron Martin, confirmed to E! News that his wife, Debbie Martin, died Sunday, May 26. "Angelina has been in touch throughout the week and her brother Jamie has been with us, giving his support day by day," he said. omg.yahoo.com/news/angelina-jolies-aunt-dies-breast-cancer-233000695-us-weekly.html?.tsrc=samsungwn

I saw that in the news. Very sad. From the gitgo, I applauded Angela Jolie's "coming out" and encouraging women who have several close relatives (on both the father's and the mother's side) who had breast and/or ovarian cancer to test for the defective gene. She may have saved many lives by doing so.

Very sad news. This must have weighed so heavily on her decision. I wish for the day that this awful disease is eradicated, so that women will not have to make such decisions or continue to lose their lives.
