I recently saw someone post about Aimee Knight (https://discover.swns.com/2026/05/woman-diagnosed-with-ovarian-cancer-despite-preventative-surgery/).

She was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, even though she had a prophylactic oophorectomy!! How common is this? I know when I had my prophylactic mastectomy, my surgeon said my chance of breast cancer was less than 2%. Is there a similar stat for ovarian cancer risk after preventative surgery?

Also, I read somewhere that testing for AMH levels after removal of ovaries is a good way to catch if there are any leftover ovarian remnants/tissue. Has anyone done this?
