Does anyone think me being on birth control has anything to do with my tumor?? thank you :) Reply to this Question

Sometimes medicines can react badly with each other, or it might even stop your birthcontrol from working-your doctor can tell you about the risks ONLY if he knows what pills you are taking

 None of us here are doctors.
This is CLEARLY something you ought to talk to your doctor about.

 There is no known connection between birth control and tumors.
Why wouldn't you tell your doctor you were on birth control? They need to know EVERY medication you are taking. It's not as though they will tell your parents. They even know about NSAID pain relievers (ibuprofen, aspirin, etc...). You should not keep secrets from your doctor.

I would tell your doctor and ask them thier opinion because they are the only person who would know. Hope you are better soon x
