Projesterone and Meningioma

I have been diagnosed with a benign meningioma.  I am taking bioidentical Projesterone.  I am 49 years old.   Should I stop taking these hormones?

Absolutely. Most meningioma are progesterone receptor positive and that means that they feed off the hormone progesterone.

I've been on mifepristone (RU486) a progesterone antagonist for 2 years now and my most recent scan shown a slight decrease in the size of my tumour.
