My mother-in-law had ovarian cancer so my wife and her sisters all tested for the BRACA gene. 2 had it, 2 didn't. My wife did, just like Angelina Jolie, and like Jolie, my wife did the recommended surgeries.

After all the surgery, my wife had lots of and intense hot flashes, to which her doctor prescribed her Paxil. For hit flashes. WTF is that supposed to do but numb the feelings, not solve the problem. We know 2 women who went bananas from Paxil, one killed herself, one is bat shit crazy now.

My wife ended up finding a holistic doctor and is now on a small amount of hormone treatment and magically, no more hot flashes.

Modern medicine is a mess.
