   I agree with her on one thing-Angelina's money makes it easier to do whatever she feels needs to be done. In that sense Angelina has it easier. Otherwise I see her decision as just as difficult as the author of this piece. Your thoughts?[/quote]

I haven't read either this response or the OpEd piece.

But I do feel like Angelina isn't a normal woman / mother with this genetic marker. She is quite wealthy and can afford any surgery or test. A friend of mine is a single mom and lost her mother from breast cancer and is 1/4 Jewish (from her mother's side). She is really worried about her future health. Her insurance won't cover the genetic test and she can't afford it on her own. She said if she were to test positive for the gene, she'd get a mastectomy in a heartbeat because her ex husband is completely (financially, physically, and emotionally) out of the picture.

I think Angelina is trying to promote wellness and wise choices, but it's not like everyone has the options for those choices. [/quote]
