Jolie’s surgeon: Actress working four days after op

Angelina Jolie’s surgeon has blogged about how the Hollywood actress was up and working with “bountiful energy” on her next film project just four days after having her double mastectomy, her surgeon said.

Dr Kristi Funk hailed the “bold” Oscar-winning actress’s positive attitude as she underwent three operations — two in February and one in April — to remove tissue and reconstruct her breasts. Jolie decided to have the procedures after discovering she carried a faulty gene that increased her risk of breast cancer.

“To a large extent, I believe recovery reflects expectation. Angelina expected to feel well, to be active,” Funk wrote in a blog post entitled A Patient’s Journey: Angelina Jolie.
