I was 19 yrs old when I started with the pains on my upper torso area, my doctor said it was my gallbladder. But I did have some blood vessels on my liver. So he said I had to have my gallbladder removed and he would look at my liver as well. After my pre-op surgery appointment he said nothing was wrong with my liver I just have little blood vessels. And a fatty liver but it was it normal for my weight at that time I was 230 pounds. Six months later I'm in the Er dying of the same pain so I had a ultrasound done and an MRI. My results where I have liver tumors, not just one but my whole liver is covered up.lucky for me as time went by all I have to do is get two MRIs every year stay off birth control and not have any kids and loose weight. At that time I really had my first kid, I went thru a divorce and couple month's later I found the love of my life. We have a kid together as well, I took the risk of having our baby even though I knew I could have serious problems with the high hormones that could cause my tumors to grow. Again I was very lucky my pregnancy went very smooth I had no problems at all with my tumor they didn't grow they didn't shrink. After I had my baby I lost 70 pounds I went for an MRI cuz I was having pains again what my doctor told me I was never expecting to hear. She said you have three tumors there are the size of 4 cm. In short words had to have half of my liver removed.... I was devastated all because of stupid birth control pills here I thought I was doing something that would help me but instead it cause a lot of problems and most of all pain. I had my surgery done in 2015, I had to leave my two kids behind (8yrs old and a 8 month old) for a week. My surgery went well all I have is the rest of my tumors on whatever's left of my liver now, and I can't at all have any more baby's what's so ever. Or my I put it on my doctor words "yeah you can keep having more kids if you wanna die" I love her so much for taking great care of me for the past 5years. I always thought i was the only one who had this problem with birth control. I'm so happy to have found this page. Thanks lady's for sharing your storys.
