Tumor, Memory Loss, and Contraceptive Truth | Leicester News

A woman in her 40s is speaking out after discovering a massive, apple-sized brain tumor—later diagnosed as a meningioma—that she believes was caused by two decades of using contraceptive injections.

Doctors found a seven-centimeter mass that had been growing for 20 years, requiring 12-hour surgery. Though regulators say the risk is rare, she claims she was never warned about potential dangers. Now facing a 25-30% chance of recurrence and needing annual MRIs for a decade, she’s urging women to ask questions and be informed about their contraceptive choices.
