Additional information: Caller was a 82-year-old female who has been a lung patient cancer for 8 years. As per agent's verbatim "caller reported new sports from the Cancer and wants to know if there have been any other reports about the Pfizer vaccines increasing lung cancer." Caller stated she called to report her experience. She mentioned that she had been a lung cancer patient for a very long time, and that now that she received the booster dose of the COMIRNARTY vaccine, it had spread all over her body. She mentioned that lung cancer can be very unpredictable, but when I went to her Dr., her Oncologist asked her if she had had the booster shot, and that they had found 2 new spots. Caller mentioned she got concerned about the booster shot because of what the Dr. asked her and she was wondering if MD was not getting reports from their patients asking about the booster. It might not be a bad a idea to contact MD and see. Caller mentioned she received the comirnaty booster dose on 13Apr2022 and that she got scaned every 3 months so she thought they might be a connection. Caller mentioned she will further discuss this with her Oncologist. There were no other conditions. Calling about the booster shot. She got the latest and the second booster and she got in Apr. Caller confirmed the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. She said she is a cancer patient and she said lung cancer for 8 years next month.  She has been stable and only taking Tagrisso. She went and had her 3 month scans the day before and she was sitting in the waiting room and her and a man got to talking and he said he got his booster and his cancer came back over different spots and when she went in and had her scans she had new spots that haven't been there in years and her doctor ask if she had her Covid booster shot and showed him her card. She was suspected to think the booster had increased her cancer and she had been stable for 8 years and there was no movement.  She reported she was in a panic and asking what to do and how she will get out of this one.  Caller declined report on the man she spoke with and said she does not know the gentlemen and he was someone she talked to in waiting room and talking about how long he had cancer and he was fine and his cancer is all over after he received his booster shot and she doesn't think this was possible and she started reading. She provided 28Jun2022 Tuesday. She had no idea because 3 months before the scans the spots were not there and with the 3 month scans the new spots showed up and they did special blood work and there will be no results for 6 to 7 days. She kind of blew it off when the gentleman got spots after the booster and she didn't pay much attention to it until she read on the internet and when her doctor asked her about the booster shot and getting reports for this and she was treated at MD. She received 2 boosters and the prescribed vaccines and last one that she got.  She received two vaccines and a booster and the booster she got in Apr. Everybody said she should get the boosters and there was still a lot of Covid and she was a cancer patient and elderly and she thinks she was 50.  Her system was compromised but she was very healthy and her blood work was spot on and she was very active and does not dress or look her age.  She doesn't take but 3 pills and for her age that was very little. Treatment was none. She had two hot spots and therefore they sent blood work and was in a kit and should get results back 7 days and must have sent off and was special blood work. She doesn't know if relevant or not and she was very active and she takes care of herself and she drives and she took a road trip by herself and she was very fit other than the cancer. She takes the chemo pill Tagrisso and levothyroxine for her thyroid. She took Tagrisso 40 mg tag and levothyroxine 112 mg. Therapy dates are unknown. Since her last scan she started to complain about neuropathy pain and so the other pill they put her on was gabapentin for neuropathy 100 mg and is taken twice a day one in the morning and one in the evening and before that she took two pills and everything else was vitamins. She don't go to the doctor except of scans every 3 months and if she went to doctor was for something silly like an ingrown toe nail and goes to podiatrist. She had other relatives that had cancer but not lung.
