LOS ANGELES, June 18 (UPI) -- U.S. singer and breast cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge says Angelina Jolie's decision to have a preventative double mastectomy was a "fearful choice."
The 37-year-old actress and mother of six children chronicled in a May op-ed piece for The New York Times her decision to have the preventative operations after she learned she carried a gene that predisposed her to breast and ovarian cancers.
