For us BRCA carriers, the theory that high-grade ovarian cancers start in the fallopian tubes is a life-changer—it’s why I’m opting for a salpingectomy to remove my tubes first, delaying the bigger shock of a full hysterectomy. As for CA-125, I don’t trust it for screening; my own levels have always been normal, even when my aunt’s cancer was missed by it. My mutation is the real report card, not that blood test. So my surgery date is fixed, because waiting for a test that can fail feels like depending on a borewell that’s run dry.
