Even if I was told the risk, I would take a very, very, very long time to make such a big decision, rather than "taking my chances".
In the end, I might be swayed by the fact that someone as beautiful as Angelina had gone for it.

Yes - Unfortunately last year she developed Primary Peritoneal Cancer.
The omentum was not removed as part of the procedure, preventative hysterectomy is still in early stages and with the benefit of hindsight it would have been good if an omentectomy had formed part of the process.
Maybe it would have made a difference - maybe it wouldn't I guess we'll never know

Having recently had a recurrance of breast cancer, following a mastectomy 7 years ago, in the same breast, I wonder if there could still be an issue with remaining cells. Either way, I will be interested to see if her career suffers from the removal of her famous assets. Reconstruction surgery is amazing these days though! In the same way that Kylie Minogue sharing her cancer journey highlights the issue, if this makes just one woman do her checks and catch it early the publicity will be worth it. Kudos to her!
