  1. Brad Calls Angelina "Heroic"

    <strong><span style=&quot;font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">Brad Pitt</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> is opening up about fianc&eacute;e <strong>Angelina Jolie&rsquo;s</strong> decision to have a double mastectomy after finding out she carried the BRCA-1 cancer gene. "Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as many others like her, absolutely heroic," Pitt said in a statement to <em>London's Evening Standard</em>. "All I want is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family." Angelina revealed her decision to undergo surgery in an</span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/14/opinion/my-medical-choice.html?hp&amp;_r=1&amp;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: #1155cc;">op-ed piece</span></a><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> for the <em>New York Times</em>. She said the three-month process began February 2</span><sup><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 7.5pt;">nd</span></sup><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;"> and was completed April 27</span><sup><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 7.5pt;">th</span></sup><span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black;">, and included reconstructive surgery of both breasts. Although she was able to keep her procedure private, Angie eventually decided it was important to go public with her decision. &ldquo;I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience," she wrote. "Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people&rsquo;s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action." Now that she&rsquo;s undergone the surgery, her chances of developing breast cancer have dropped to less than five percent. &nbsp;"I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she wrote. "It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that&rsquo;s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was.&rdquo; </span>
