00:00 A huge advancement in science brings hope for women around the world.
00:04 Reuters reports a 34-year-old British woman became the first in the country to receive
00:10 a womb transplant.
00:11 The woman received the organ from her 40-year-old sister after she lost her womb to cancer.
00:17 Since getting diagnosed with cancer and the hysterectomy, the infertility was such a huge
00:23 part of that and you grieve, you really do.
00:26 The procedure offers hope for prospective recipients in their hope to bear children.
00:31 So she's doing really, really well.
00:33 She has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby
00:38 are very high.
00:39 She needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy and to be closely monitored and we hope to
00:44 be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn.
