Angelina Jolie's aunt dies of breast cancer

Angelina's mother's sister passed away today from breast cancer. To lose so many close family members to one disease is heartbreaking and scary. My thoughts and prayers are with Angelina and the rest of her family.

This sad situation may have influenced Angelina's recent decision to be proactive concerning her risk of contracting cancer. I admire her strength.

I am glad that Jolie stood up for those that are suffering from the disease. For those that have died from it.

Thoughts and prayers to all.

Thanks for your post, LAH.

of all the haters and douchebags who just had to post nasty crap accross the web after Jolie went public with her tough choices.

Seems she made the intelligent choice and once again, ignorance loses.

With sympathies to the family.
