Childhood Infertility

A recent news story of young Natalie, who had a germ cell tumor removed. She is eight years old, battling ovarian cancer.

Just 20 years ago, treatment would have included the removal of both of her ovaries, resulting in infertility. Today, however, removal of the one affected ovary and fallopian tube seems to be sufficient treatment.

You can read more of Natalie’s story on Yahoo, here.
