Ovarian cancer risk changes the way you think about your body and your future in ways that reach far beyond a medical chart.

In this episode, Marisa shares the deeply personal story behind one of the hardest decisions she has ever had to make. She opens up about choosing a salpingectomy to reduce her ovarian cancer risk while protecting her hormones, her long-term health, and her quality of life.

She walks through the appointment that left her gutted, the information that completely changed her plan, and the doctors who helped her slow down instead of rush into life-altering surgery. She also speaks honestly about the emotional weight of making permanent decisions around fertility, menopause, and your body while still healing from everything your body has already been through.

This decision affects so much more than risk reduction. It can change timelines, future plans, and even what you thought your life might look like.

This is not a medical lecture.

It is a real conversation about choice, grief, relief, second opinions, and choosing a path that honors both your life and your body.
