A helluva story

Maybe it just take someone who became Lara Croft onscreen to tackle an issue like prophylactic mastectomy. Angelina Jolie  lit up the internet today with an op-ed about her experience having the BRCA-1 gene, a mother with cancer and her own double mastectomy.

I enjoyed reading it. While both my parents had cancer (one died from it), I am constantly reminded of my own risks. Modern medicine can now present the tests to see if the genie really is in the bottle (inside us.)

Sometimes, it just takes a lot of fortitude to be able to open it.

More to come...

Me and Angelina Jolie

Now for something completely different...

I nearly coughed my coffee all over my laptop on this latest "news". I am SO glad I now have something in common with Angie and this other starlet.

What's up with Jen and Angelina? (from shine at Yahoo!)

P.S. If you have those on our unit, and crap in the arms, we'd go straight there for IVs and blood draws.
