Super Woman: Angelina Jolie Dives Back Into Her Humanitarian Work After Surgery. - Celebrities -








 She revealed last month that she underwent a preventative double mastectomy following the discovery that she had an 87% chance of developing bosom cancer.

And Angelina Jolie has now dived back into her humanitarian work since completing the operations in April and making her big announcement in May.

The 38-year-old was pictured listening to Syrian refugees in a Jordanian military camp based on the Jordan-Syria border on Tuesday.

Dressed all in black, the actress was seen crouching down and talking to a mother and several children as she scribbled dutifully on a notepad.

She was also seen comforting some young boys as she was surrounded by several of the refugees at the camp.

Angelina began three months of treatments prior to undergoing a preventative double mastectomy, back in February, and continued her humanitarian work through them.

At the beginning of February she started with a 'Tip delay, which rules out disease in the bosom ducts behind the Tip and draws extra blood flow to the area'.

Then just two weeks later she underwent the major surgery - an eight hour operation which sees the bosom tissue removed before temporary fillers are put in place.

Then just over a month later Angelina was back to work with her humanitarian efforts, pictured in the Republic of Congo with British politician William Hague following her initial operation on March 26th.

On April 4th she then attended the Women in the World Summit in New York looking in good spirits, and on April 11th attended the G8 Summit in London, again with Hague.

After those engagements, Angelina had her final operation, her bosoms reconstructed with implants on April 20.

Then on April 27th, the mother-of-six completed the medical process and was told that the surgery was a success and her chances of contracting bosom cancer have now been reduced from 87% to less than 5%.

While she supported her partner Brad Pitt on the red carpet in Berlin for the premiere of his new movie World War Z earlier this month, this is the first time Angelina was been seen engaging in her humanitarian work since completing the operations.
