Melissa Etheridge Says Angelina Jolie's Mastectomy Is Fearful

I guess Melissa Etheridge still has not got over the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorce thing since she performed at their wedding. Melissa is a breast cancer survivor and was asked about Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy. I guess the reporter was expecting that Melissa would call the decision brave, but Melissa called it fearful and said that there was nothing brave about it and it was not something she would have done.  She says lots of people have that mutation, but never get cancer and that doing what Angelina did is way down the line of available options. "I have that gene mutation too, and it's not something I would believe in for myself. I wouldn't call it the brave choice. I actually think it's the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer. My belief is that cancer comes from inside you, and so much of it has to do with the environment of your body. It's the stress that will turn that gene on or not. Plenty of people have the gene mutation and everything, but it never comes to cancer."
