When she was nine years old she needed to have chemotherapy. It damages the ovaries so doctors removed one of them. It was frozen at the University of Leeds, which is at the forefront of eth science. Last year surgeons in Denmark transplanted slivers of the ovary tissue back into her body. No one could say for sure if the tissue from a child would work again in an adult body. Moaza had been going through the menopause. But after the transplant, her hormone levels began returning to normal, she began ovulating and her fertility was restored. Moaza said: “I always believed that I would be a mum and that I would have a baby. “I didn’t stop hoping and now I have this baby – it is a perfect feeling.” She also thanked her mother, whose idea it was to save her young daughter’s ovarian tissue so that she might be able to have a family in the future.
