Woman has twins after losing ovaries from cancer

- There were an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases in the U.S. in 2022, according to the American Cancer Society.One cancer survivor lost her ovaries but not her hope of having more children. In 2020, Shelly Battista headed back to work with a newborn at home.She thought it was a clogged milk duct, but a biopsy revealed that was not the case. Despite having no family history, the new mother was diagnosed with a triple-negative breast cancer and the BRCA1 mutation.

Almost as devastating was the thought of getting through cancer and not being able to have more children in the future. Before chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and the removal of her ovaries and fallopian tubes, Battista met with Dr. Kara Goldman with the Northwestern Medicine Center for Fertility & Reproductive Medicine.

Eight healthy embryos were frozen. One year after her cancer treatment, Battista was cleared for pregnancy.
