How Angelina Jolie continued campaigning throughout her treatment
Three months of rigorous medical treatment did not stop Angelina Jolie from continuing her humanitarian work over three continents.
Jolie today revealed that she had undergone treatment between February 2 and April 27, with major surgery to remove breast tissue in mid-February, in order to reduce risk from a genetic condition that predisposes her to breast cancer.
The treatment did not appear to slow her down, however.
"Things have appeared normal. The kids have kept their schedules as usual," a source told People Magazine. “They have been in school during the day and have attended after-school activities like they always do.”
Less than two weeks after the operation, on Valentine’s Day, Jolie and Pitt took their 4-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox, to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles.
In March, with treatment still ongoing, Jolie visited refugee camps in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as a special envoy of the United Nations Refugee Agency.
The actor met displaced women and girls in a camp in North Kivu province, to draw attention to the problem of mass rape in conflict areas.
Jolie returned to Los Angeles on the Easter weekend at the end of March, where she, Pitt, and her children are reported to have enjoyed an Easter egg hunt at the family’s Santa Barbara house.
The star also addressed the New York Woman in the World Conference on April 4, introducing Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head for advocating female education.
Yousafzai will administer the new “Malala’s Fund” to support the education of girls in Pakistan. Jolie, who also helped build a girls school in Afghanistan in 2011, committed $200,000 to the fund.
Jolie went on to attend a G8 meeting in London, on April 11, where she joined foreign ministers, including UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, on stage in a pledge of £23 million to combat sexual violence in conflict.
Hague, who had also accompanied Jolie to the DRC, praised the actor. “She is a courageous lady and a very professional lady. She’s done a lot of work with me in recent months,” he told Sky News.
"She gave no sign that she was undergoing such treatment and I think she’s a very brave lady, not only to carry on with her work so well during such treatment, but also to write about it now and talk about it. I think that she’s a brave lady and will be an inspiration to many.”
Jolie was accompanied during the treatment by her partner, actor Brad Pitt.
“Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries,” Jolie stated in an op-ed piece in the New York Times. “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.”
