Hello!
For those of you who have taken oral contraceptives for a long time, 5 years or more, beware! (Insert scary music here)
No, seriously, I am recovering from an evil Liver surgery to remove a tumor (the size of a damn baseball) from my liver, they had to take half my liver, too! I'm getting to the point now. The tumor was caused by long term use of the pill. I had been on it for 9 years. The tumor didn't grow large enough to cause me pain until I received hormone shots to combat endometriosis. A lot of times, you can't even feel the pain, the only way they could find mine was by ct scan. I'm not here to be a doomsayer, this sort of thing isn't very common. I just thought you should know about it, I had no idea they could cause tumors before I was diagnosed.Autumn
