Prophylactic salpingectomy for ovarian cancer prevention

Poke

I saw four oncologists and no one mentioned this as an option. After I researched myself, the fourth onc agreed to the surgery. I had it last week and I feel like it was the right decision for me. Pathology was all negative after they spliced up my tubes, she got an up-close view of both ovaries (I don't trust those dumb ultrasounds) and I feel like it will buy me a few more years before I go for the whole oopherectomy since I'm only 30. Just wanted to throw it out there because I would have done it 11 months ago had I known it was an option. It was laparoscopic and I went home the same day. Bonus: No more condoms!

There are lots of articles out there, just is just one:
