My mother and grandmother by this age were in chemo,\u201d Jolie said, walking down the red carpet with her co-stars.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all have these things we worry about or people we love. And it\u2019s either going to make us slow down and almost feel we can\u2019t move, take a step, or we\u2019re going to make the most of this life before it\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n Jolie underwent a preventive double mastectomy<\/a> in 2013 after learning she had inherited a high risk of breast cancer and said she hoped her story would inspire other women fighting the life-threatening disease.<\/p>\n She went through with the operation in part to reassure her six children that she would not die young from cancer<\/a>, as her own mother did at age 56.<\/p>\n
