According to the diagnosis of Jolie’s doctors she carries an 87 and 50 percent risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer respectively. According to Jolie, "But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."
