Angelina Jolie’s Doctor Talks About Surgery


UNDATED (AP) — Angelina Jolie’s doctor says the actress seemed to make a quick recovery from the surgery to remove her breasts to prevent cancer. The doctor, Kristi Funk, says four days after the last of her double mastectomies, Jolie was “in good spirits with bountiful energy.” Funk says she was pleased with her physical recovery — but also that she was getting back into her work. Funk says when she visited with Jolie, she found “two walls in her house covered with freshly assembled storyboards for the next project she is directing.” Jolie revealed on Tuesday that she carries a defective gene that puts her at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
