Diagnosed with Uterine Cancer (Leiomyosarcoma)

Posted by cjacobs99 @cjacobs99, Mar 4, 2022

I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer (Leiomyosarcoma) this month. Two months ago large mass was found in my uterus. Prior to that, there were no signs or symptoms of large mass. I received my Covid vaccine on 12/9/21 on the first day of my cycle. My period went from being very heavy to light spotting that month. This never happens. Ten days later I went into the ER due to severe pelvic and abdominal pain. A CT scan confine a large tumor (tennis ball) growing in my uterus. I have no history of fibroids and a recent Ultrasound confirms that. Less than a month later I developed Covid(delta/omicron unknown) and my recovery time over three weeks. During that time my uterus/tumor doubled in size, as if I was in my last trimester of pregnancy. A full hysterectomy was performed and biopsy confirms uterine cancer (lmsarcoma). I believe the Covid vaccine and infection triggered the cancerous tumor to grow rapidly in a short period of time causing the pain and discomfort to manifest. Curious if anyone else has experience with the impact of Covid and cancer.

Hi, I just joined this group,and ran across your post. I do believe that, this same thing happened to me and 5 other women that I know of. I had a total hysterectomy in January 2023, and diagnosed with stage 1 at the time, but it metastasized to my lungs. On My 2nd round of treatments. Still trusting God. I pray that you are doing better.

My leiomyosarcoma was Dx in June of last year. I had a gyn appointment and everything was ok. Then 5 months after that, I had the two Covid vaccine shots. Three months later I had Stage 4 Uterine Leiomyosarcoma. I believer there is a connection. I am researching and I will pass the research on to my grandchildren. I believe it will be much like the Camp Lajeune class action… year later and too late to save the people it effects. There are studies from other countries that have shown there are nano particles in the blood stream of people who have had the vaccine. I continue to research!

This same thing happened to me. I pray that you are feeling better. I just got informed today that, there is a possible link to the vaccine, in my case. I am going to talk with my doctors and do more research. God help us all, in Jesus name. Bless you.

I was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in 2011. Three years before that, I had surgery to remove fibroids. Turns out the fibroids were suspicious for cancer at that time, but my doctor didn't catch it. Then 3 years later, symptoms returned and fibroids returned. After a biopsy, I was at Stage 2A. My only treatment was surgery. I had a complete hysterectomy. It was determined that radiation or chemo wouldn't be helpful. So far, it has been 11 years and the cancer has not returned. There is hope out there. Leiomyosarcomas can be aggressive and can be fed by estrogen or progesterone. I have had both Covid vaccines and every booster available, but since I have no ovaries, I'm not producing hormones, so it's not a factor for me. Just remember, synthetic mRNA has been around since 1984. Researchers took what they learned from those early vaccine studies using mRNA to develop the Covid-19 vaccine, so it's not like this was a completely new thing. However, acute stress from having Covid can cause the adrenal glands to produce more hormones which can change your menstrual flow. And as you know, there are so many other factors that affect our hormones. Hard to narrow it down to one thing. Try not to focus on that element, and instead focus on staying positive.

Thank you. I'm not sure if you will see this, but you encouraged me. I was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in January 2023, after having a total hysterectomy. It metastasized to my lungs, on my 2nd round of treatment. Trusting God and staying positive, all the way. I

Hi @marchelle, I was wondering how you are doing after your treatment. My husband lost his leg to LMS in March then found that is had spread to his lungs. He is set to start chemo next week where they plan to do 2 rounds then another CT to see if it is working. I'm praying that the treatment you received has worked for you and that you are feeling better. I'm very interested in the Covid vaccine aspect as we are suspicious of that as well. Any updates on your heath and the vaccine link?

Mot with Covid and cancer, but I just had my second surgery (previous one was the hysterectomy to get rid of a big leiomyosarcoma that had a myxoid component). This second tumor grew to the size of an egg in a month and a half. I’ve read that it’s a very rare, very aggressive cancer, the tumor is capable of doubling in size in 4 weeks.

What was done for post surgery treatment. My drs are recommended radiation. I’m having a consultation on the 14th.

@joan450 This is so difficult. Your post that follows this indicates that you will meet with the radiation oncologist on November 14.

This is so much to take in. Are you getting your care close to home? How are you feeling about all of this?

I am so sorry the late response. The doctor said that treatment is working, tumors are shrinking. I got covid the first week in October and they stopped my treatments until November 2nd. The doctor said that hopefully there was no growths because of me not having treatments for 3wks. I fully trust God.
