The actress underwent the preventative surgery in February 2013 after learning had an 87 per cent chance of getting breast cancer

Angelina Jolie was reduced to tears when a caller phoned her on French radio to commend her for speaking about her double mastectomy.
The actress underwent the preventative surgery in February 2013 after learning had an 87 per cent chance of getting breast cancer.
Jolie went public with the news via an emotive self-penned piece in the New York Times called “My Medical Choice”.
During an appearance on RTL radio, the caller said: ''I want to thank Angelina Jolie for having found the courage to say it. And to support this fight with all those we have lost, those who fought and who are real heroines facing the disease.
''By this act of courage and bravery, by announcing her choice by assuming, she helps to demystify and popularise a subject that was taboo in France.
''She is not only an extraordinary woman, but also an extraordinary mom.''
