Sex: F
Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Biopsy, Invasive ductal breast carcinoma, Mammogram
Clinical narrative: invasive ductal carcinoma; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP.  A female patient received BNT162b2 omi xbb.1.5 (COMIRNATY (2023-2024 FORMULA)), on 15Nov2023 as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown), in right arm for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "Cone Procedure", start date: 2014, stop date: 2014. The patient's concomitant medications were not reported. Vaccination history included: Bnt162b2 (DOSE 1, SINGLE), for Covid-19 immunization; Bnt162b2 (DOSE 2, SINGLE), for Covid-19 immunization.  The following information was reported: INVASIVE DUCTAL BREAST CARCINOMA (medically significant) with onset 02Jul2024, outcome "not recovered", described as "invasive ductal carcinoma". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: Biopsy: (01Jul2024) invasive ductal carcinoma; Mammogram: (11Dec2023) swollen lymph node, notes: The only change noted was a swollen lymph node in my R axilla, and of course the red spot; (19Dec2023) Unknown Results, notes: I complained and got a second opinion and the scan was repeated on the 19th with the same recommendation; (21Jun2024) Unknown Results, notes: There was massive changes. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of invasive ductal breast carcinoma. Clinical course: The patient stated, "I received the latest COVID vaccine on 15Nov2023 in my right arm, it was a Pfizer vaccine. Two weeks later a red spot the size of a lime appeared on my right breast. I went to a dermatologist first who ruled out mastitis. I then saw my OB/GYN within days and was referred for a diagnostic mammogram for 11Dec2023 The only change noted was a swollen lymph node in my R axilla, and of course the red spot. I wanted a biopsy but this radiologist didn't think it was necessary. I complained and got a second opinion and the scan was repeated on the 19th with the same recommendation. I also saw a breast surgeon on 04Jan2024. I was told that the swollen lymph node was related to the COVID vaccine and the red spot was caused by the combination of the swollen lymph node and damage to the lymphatic drainage caused by a previous cone procedure done 10 years ago. I was scheduled for a follow up mammogram in Jun. I had that mammogram done on 21Jun2024. There was massive changes. I had a biopsy done on 01Jul2024. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma on 02Jul2024. They are still staging it. I begin chemo on 22Jul2024. My concern is the guidelines, the research being done on those who suffered from COVID infection who had something dormant or a previous cancer showing up with these hyper-progressive cancers 6-9 months after infection. To my knowledge, I never had COVID. I've had three COVID vaccines, all Pfizer. The first round and the latest monovalent version. I skipped the bivalent vaccine because I was seeing the research that said it wasn't effective. I don't think there is a problem with the mRNA delivery system, I think it is the virus itself, and possibly the viral particle used in the vaccine whether it is Pfizer or Moderna. I think more research needs to be done to perfect the vaccine. I suspect that COVID is oncogenetic just like HPV and Hepatitis B but instead of developing cancer 1 or 2 decades later, the COVID virus may impact the CD8 T Cell production producing hyper-progressive cancers in those with the right genetic predisposition. Please, please target research in this area. Make it a signal for the VAERS reports. We need a really good vaccine for COVID and we can't let political agendas impede the research. I'm not the only one this has happened to, my social circle is small. My nephew's wife, age 42, is currently dealing with the same exact scenario I have except she did not get the vaccine. She did have a respiratory infection in the fall but never tested positive for COVID at that time. However, if you don't test in that 2-3-day window, you can still have COVID and test negative. as you probably know".
