Claire Rodrigues Lee, 45, was one of the four women to have a groundbreaking two-in-one surgery to reduce their risk of ovarian cancer while undergoing a caesarean section She said: ‘As a carrier of the BRCA2 gene alteration, I knew I was at higher risk of ovarian cancer and I wanted to have the risk-reducing surgery as soon as possible after giving birth for the second time.
‘Recovery was no different having combined surgery to just having a C-section - my first child was born via C-section so I knew what to expect.Risk-reducing surgery is the only proven way to reduce ovarian cancer mortality and it slashes the risk of the disease by at least 95 per cent. Professor Adam Rosenthal, a consultant gynaecologist at UCLH, said: 'Offering this two-in-one surgery could prove very beneficial to other women at high risk of ovarian cancer, who would then avoid the need for separate risk-reducing surgery.
