Symptom narrative

Roughly two years after receiving both does of the vaccine, I had a seizure on 1/21/2023. The CT and MRI scans that were taken of my brain on that same day showed a tumor growing in my brain. The following week I had to undergo a craniotomy to remove this tumor at (withheld name) Medical Center in (withheld state). The tissue was sent to the pathology department at the same hospital, which determined that it was a Grade II Oligodendroglioma and would only require surveillance scans every 6 months. A month passes and the neurosurgeon called and urgently summoned me into the hospital and proceeded to explain that they sent the tissue sample to (withheld) University for a second opinion and their conclusion was a Grade IV Astrocytoma. The pathology departments at The University of (withheld) and (withheld) hospital in (withheld state) both came to the same conclusion as (withheld) upon conducting their own studies of the tissue. I have now been a patient at (withheld) since this misdiagnosis occurred. This is an impossible type of cancer to beat.
