Tallulah Cox will be the youngest in the UK to have the procedure
A tot battling a brain tumour is set to have her ovaries frozen at the age of just 17 months in the hope she can have children of her own one day.
Tallulah fell mysteriously ill following a bout of chicken pox. She was being sick after drinking and Zoe took her to the GP, who thought she had gastroenteritis, The Mirror reports. Zoe continued: “We were devastated. We’d never imagined that it would be anything as serious as a brain tumour. The only positive thing was that they told us it was the size of a grape, and usually when they are discovered they are the size of a plum, so it had been caught very early.”
Cryopreservation freezes the egg-producing portion of the ovary called the ovarian cortex. The tissue can be transplanted up to 30 years later to make pregnancy possible.
