My friend (40 yo) was recently diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer and is evaluating treatment options. She will be undergoing chemo and radiation. It has been suggested that she can get an ovary transposition surgery before her radiation starts, for the purpose of preserving ovary function to delay menopause. Has anyone had experiences with this procedure that they would like to share?

Hello @Ldcgaynor‍, thank you for opening this discussion. Let me tag some other members who can possible share with you.

Hi everyone,

For those of you who have undergone pelvic radiation, can you share your experience? Did you choose to have ovary transposition surgery? Why or why not? If you did, what was it like - preparation, duration, recovery?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
