Neha Davis, a 42-year-old marketing director...
Neha Davis, a 42-year-old marketing director and mother of two, had a family history of ovarian cancer. After genetic testing revealed a BRCA1 mutation, her risk was deemed very high. Despite having no symptoms, she faced the agonizing choice of prophylactic surgery. Her gynecologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (ovarian ablation) as the most effective risk-reduction strategy. Neha underwent a laparoscopic procedure, which was physically straightforward. In recovery, she entered surgical menopause, managing hot flashes with HRT. Emotionally, her journey was from profound fear and loss of her fertility, which she had privately hoped to use again, to a hard-won peace. The ablation lifted the constant shadow of cancer, allowing her to focus on her family and career with renewed presence, though she still grieves the choice she had to make.
