Let’s Talk Babies and
“ART”
Melissa is a 38-year-old woman
who was recently diagnosed with endometrial cancer. After consulting with her
gynecologist and oncologist, a hysterectomy was selected as the course of
treatment. The oncologist removed Melissa’s uterus and cervix but left her
ovaries intact. No cancer was detected in her ovaries, and they showed signs of
continuing ovulation.

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) options Melissa has if she decides that
she wants a biological child.
