Another TED talk, this one by a beauty queen who had a preventative double mastectomy.
I'm not sure that she suceeded in her mission to rethink our breasts, but her story is a powerful one. When I told my eldest son that I had breast cancer, he mentioned Angelina Jolie, didnt she have cancer Mummy? Well no, not exactly, but it goes to show how broad the influence of her similar decision was. I think she was brave to be honest about it. As to her decision, well, it was her personal décision. I sometimes think that I am glad that they reduced my 'good' breast so much, so that maybe I have less chance of getting cancer in that one.
Anyway, here's the talk.
