&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;Agrave; peine deux ans apr&amp;egrave;s la sortie qu&amp;eacute;b&amp;eacute;coise de Starbuck, son cr&amp;eacute;ateur, &lt;a href="http://voir.ca/mots-cles/ken-scott/"&gt;Ken Scott&lt;/a&gt;, s&amp;rsquo;affaire &amp;agrave; la mise en place de la sortie de la version am&amp;eacute;ricaine du film, Delivery Man, qu&amp;rsquo;il r&amp;eacute;alise lui-m&amp;ecirc;me.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;La version am&amp;eacute;ricaine mettra aussi en vedette &lt;strong&gt;Colbie Smulders&lt;/strong&gt; (The Avengers, How I Met Your Mother) et &lt;strong&gt;Chris Pratt&lt;/strong&gt; (The Five Year Engagement, Parks and Recreation).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Delivery Man devrait para&amp;icirc;tre le 4 octobre 2013, aux &amp;Eacute;tats-Unis.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href="http://gatineau.radionrj.ca/personnalite/angelina-jolie_e16"&gt;Angelina Jolie&lt;/a&gt; livre un t&amp;eacute;moignage intime ce matin. Dans une longue tribune &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/14/opinion/my-medical-choice.html?hp&amp;_r=0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;publi&amp;eacute;e dans le "New York Times"&lt;/a&gt;, la com&amp;eacute;dienne am&amp;eacute;ricaine rend public un "&lt;em&gt;choix m&amp;eacute;dical&lt;/em&gt;", une "&lt;em&gt;double mastectomie&lt;/em&gt;", soit une ablation des deux seins. &amp;Acirc;g&amp;eacute;e de 37 ans, Angelina Jolie indique dans son introduction que sa m&amp;egrave;re est morte d'un cancer &amp;agrave; l'&amp;acirc;ge de 56 ans, sans conna&amp;icirc;tre ses derniers petits-enfants.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;"87% de risque d'avoir un cancer du sein"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"&lt;em&gt;Mes enfants parlent souvent de la 'Maman de maman' et je dois souvent trouver les mots pour parler de la maladie qui l'emp&amp;ecirc;che d'&amp;ecirc;tre encore parmi nous&lt;/em&gt;, &amp;eacute;crit l'actrice rendue c&amp;eacute;l&amp;egrave;bre en interpr&amp;eacute;tant la plantureuse h&amp;eacute;ro&amp;iuml;ne "&lt;a href="http://gatineau.radionrj.ca/film/lara-croft-tomb-raider_e53846"&gt;Lara Croft&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;em&gt; Mes enfants m'ont demand&amp;eacute; si la m&amp;ecirc;me chose pouvait m'arriver. Je leur ai toujours dit de ne pas s'inqui&amp;eacute;ter, mais la v&amp;eacute;rit&amp;eacute; c'est que je porte un g&amp;ecirc;ne d&amp;eacute;fectueux, le BRCA1, qui augmente de fa&amp;ccedil;on significative les risques de d&amp;eacute;velopper un cancer du sein. Mes m&amp;eacute;decins estiment que j'ai 87% de risque d'avoir un cancer du sein et 50% de risque d'avoir un cancer des ovaires, m&amp;ecirc;me si chaque femme r&amp;eacute;agit diff&amp;eacute;remment&lt;/em&gt;".&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Pour "&lt;em&gt;r&amp;eacute;duire les risques&lt;/em&gt;", la com&amp;eacute;dienne, oscaris&amp;eacute;e en 2000 pour "Une vie vol&amp;eacute;e", a d&amp;eacute;cid&amp;eacute; de prendre les devants et de subir une op&amp;eacute;ration pr&amp;eacute;ventive. "&lt;em&gt;J'ai d&amp;eacute;cid&amp;eacute; d'&amp;ecirc;tre proactive et de r&amp;eacute;duire les risques autant que je pouvais&lt;/em&gt;, poursuit-elle.&lt;em&gt; J'ai fait le choix de faire une double mastectomie pr&amp;eacute;ventive. J'ai commenc&amp;eacute; par les seins, car mes risques de cancer du sein sont plus &amp;eacute;lev&amp;eacute;s que ceux de d&amp;eacute;velopper un cancer des ovaires. Le 27 avril, j'ai termin&amp;eacute; 3 mois de pr&amp;eacute;paration m&amp;eacute;dicale que l'op&amp;eacute;ration imposait. Une p&amp;eacute;riode pendant laquelle j'ai d&amp;ucirc; garder cela pour moi, pour prot&amp;eacute;ger mon travail."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Un t&amp;eacute;moignage pour l'exemple&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;L'actrice de "L'Echange" de Clint Eastwood a souhait&amp;eacute; r&amp;eacute;v&amp;eacute;ler son intervention afin d'encourager les femmes &amp;agrave; se faire d&amp;eacute;pister du cancer et &amp;agrave; subir, comme elle, des op&amp;eacute;rations de pr&amp;eacute;vention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;"&lt;em&gt;J'ai voulu &amp;eacute;crire pour dire aux autres femmes que ma d&amp;eacute;cision n'&amp;eacute;tait pas facile. Mais que je suis heureuse de l'avoir prise. Mes risques de d&amp;eacute;velopper un cancer du sein sont pass&amp;eacute;s de 87% &amp;agrave; 5%. Et je peux dire &amp;agrave; mes enfants qu'ils ne doivent pas craindre de me perdre.&lt;/em&gt; (...) &lt;em&gt;J'ai la chance d'avoir un compagnon, qui m'aime et me soutient&lt;/em&gt; (...) &lt;em&gt;Pour toutes les femmes qui lisent ces lignes, j'esp&amp;egrave;re que cela vous aidera de savoir que vous avez le choix. Je veux encourager chaque femme, surtout celles qui ont des ant&amp;eacute;c&amp;eacute;dents familliaux, &amp;agrave; se renseigner et &amp;agrave; faire des examens m&amp;eacute;dicaux pr&amp;eacute;ventifs&lt;/em&gt;", conclut-elle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color: #c43ab9;"&gt;VOICI L'ARTICLE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="color: #c43ab9;"&gt;MY MEDICAL CHOICE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MY MOTHER fought &lt;a class="meta-classifier" title="In-depth reference and news articles about Cancer." href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/cancer/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier"&gt;cancer&lt;/a&gt; for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We often speak of &amp;ldquo;Mommy&amp;rsquo;s mommy,&amp;rdquo; and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a &amp;ldquo;faulty&amp;rdquo; gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing &lt;a class="meta-classifier" title="In-depth reference and news articles about Breast cancer." href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/breast-cancer/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier"&gt;breast cancer&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="meta-classifier" title="In-depth reference and news articles about Ovarian Cancer." href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/ovarian-cancer/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier"&gt;ovarian cancer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only a fraction of breast cancers result from an inherited gene mutation. Those with a defect in BRCA1 have a &lt;a href="http://cancer.stanford.edu/information/geneticsAndCancer/types/herbocs.html"&gt;65 percent&lt;/a&gt; risk of getting it, on average.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a &lt;a href="http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Therapy/preventive-mastectomy"&gt;preventive double mastectomy&lt;/a&gt;. I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures that the mastectomies involved. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people&amp;rsquo;s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My own process began on Feb. 2 with a procedure known as a &amp;ldquo;nipple delay,&amp;rdquo; which rules out disease in the breast ducts behind the nipple and draws extra blood flow to the area. This causes some pain and a lot of bruising, but it increases the chance of saving the nipple.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two weeks later I had the major surgery, where the breast tissue is removed and temporary fillers are put in place. The operation can take eight hours. You wake up with drain tubes and expanders in your breasts. It does feel like a scene out of a science-fiction film. But days after surgery you can be back to a normal life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant. There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to write this to tell other women that the decision to have a mastectomy was not easy. But it is one I am very happy that I made. My chances of developing breast cancer have dropped from 87 percent to under 5 percent. I can tell my children that they don&amp;rsquo;t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is reassuring that they see nothing that makes them uncomfortable. They can see my small scars and that&amp;rsquo;s it. Everything else is just Mommy, the same as she always was. And they know that I love them and will do anything to be with them as long as I can. On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive. So to anyone who has a wife or girlfriend going through this, know that you are a very important part of the transition. Brad was at the &lt;a href="http://www.pinklotusbreastcenter.com/"&gt;Pink Lotus Breast Center&lt;/a&gt;, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options. I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I acknowledge that there are many wonderful holistic doctors working on alternatives to surgery. My own regimen will be posted in due course on the Web site of the Pink Lotus Breast Center. I hope that this will be helpful to other women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="meta-classifier" title="In-depth reference and news articles about Breast Cancer." href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/breast-cancer/overview.html?inline=nyt-classifier"&gt;Breast cancer&lt;/a&gt; alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.&lt;/p&gt;
