Hi there,
 
I’ve got a BRCA1 mutation and am going to have my ovaries & fallopian tubes and my breasts removed as a preventative measure. I’m 35 and don’t want children. Please could you help me with the following questions?
 
1)      Are there any benefits to me having my womb removed at the same time?
 
2)      Are there any disadvantages to removing my womb?
 
3)      As someone with a BRCA1 mutation, does keeping my womb increase my risk of developing cancer of the womb/cervix/connected body parts?
 
4)      Does keeping my womb in any way increase my chances of developing primary peritoneal cancer (PPC)?

5) Is there anything I can do to reduce my risk of developing PPC?
 
Many thanks, Leonie
