Vaccine Injury of Linda Soederholm


What was your life like before you received the COVID-19 vaccine?

Hard worker, healthy, fit, beautiful, finest and thickest hair in Europe, mom, positive, had alot of plans, 3-4 jobs actually and 3 missions as trustee. I have my own accounting firm and was also working as employed economist at two jobs plus 3 weekends a month at a gas station
Was thinking about having another child as I only have one son with a not very good father, have raised him myself and provided 100%, not even a contribution from his dad. I was currently practising for a motorcycle license since 2022 but had such a back/nerve pain from late summer 2022 so I haven´t finished. I´ve spent a lot of money on that

Describe the symptoms and the timeline of the reaction.

I was diagnosed with T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma, rare and highly aggresive 240105, cancer discovered 231205 at MR.
After the second vaccine shot, in January 2022, against Covid (Comirnaty), my lymph nodes on the left side swelled up—next to the breast and up towards the armpit. This happened very quickly, and after a few days, I had—almost overnight—5-6 golf/tennis ball-sized nodes on one side. I noticed it one morning while brushing my teeth and was surprised at how unusually large they were. I had read that lymph nodes could swell from the vaccine, and I am not the type to worry, so since I had so much work to do, I let it be.
After about 2-3 weeks, a couple of them began to "inflame," the area on the side of the torso expanded and became larger in circumference and less clearly defined as "balls." The area, so to speak, spread. After a few more weeks, the inflammation was quite extensive, from the beginning of the chest and significantly in the axilla area.
I thought, "What is this?" and tried to squeeze out pus/fluid, primarily from the armpit, which caused the infection to spread more and more to the upper arm, but it feels like that might have been a coincidence rather than caused by the squeezing, so to speak. My upper arm was severely affected and twice as thick in size, swollen with fluid. I was very sick with a high fever, almost delirious for a few days, and I thought that there must be a rupture/an opening so that the "sickness" could come out. It was excruciatingly painful, and I almost went to the emergency room on the Saturday night of that week.
On Sunday morning, there was a small opening, and I felt on the way to the bathroom how warm fluid dripped onto my hip from the armpit. I sat in the shower and gently squeezed around the armpit, which released fluid.
I contacted the health center on Monday and briefly explained the situation to the nurse who books appointments—I was very worried, and it hurt terribly. It felt like the skin was burnt because it was so swollen. I first met the district nurse as I assume that is the routine for this type of problem. I explained briefly, but the focus was on the present moment since it hurt so much. Then she went to get a doctor (not my general practitioner for my area) because she thought further examination was needed. He took a blood test and told me that if I got a fever again, I should go to the emergency room and that "we need to keep an eye on this" with thorough follow-up. The blood test showed quite clearly that something was wrong.
The nurses were very surprised as they had never seen anything like it, and we speculated about ingrown hairs, abscesses, and similar issues (at least one of them talked about experiences with other patients and previous similar experiences while I was there over 3 weeks), but I knew that abscesses were not like this. Moreover, it all started with swollen and abnormally large lymph nodes. They drained at least 5 dl (500 ml) of fluid by squeezing, both from the torso and up towards the opening in the armpit, as well as from the upper arm and down towards the opening, and bandaged me up. I continued to visit the health center every second or third day for about 3 weeks to continue draining and bandaging with the nurses. Later, I had a follow-up visit with my general practitioner who examined my breasts and found them normal. He then asked if they had taken samples of the fluid. But they hadn't. He thought it was okay, though still swollen, and found my description unusual. He hadn't been there the first time and didn't see how it looked, etc. There continued to be "hardened areas" but no infection or fever. I had also received antibiotics from the first doctor, which worked well and helped to expel the fluid from the body. I was relieved that it was over and that it no longer hurt. Doctor also thought it was good that the worst was over.
In August 2022, it started again, this time in the right armpit and surrounding area. I recognized the phenomenon very well, how it had started, and I was very worried that it would be like the last time, so I contacted the health center quite quickly because I didn't want to go through the same thing again. I tried to explain both to the nurse who answered the phone and to the doctor I met, who was a third doctor in this context, how it had been last time. Especially since it hadn't progressed as far this time. The doctor thought it might be bacteria from shaving the armpit and advised me to avoid shaving and to maintain good hygiene after shaving. I did not believe it was boils again. I received a type of antibiotic, and the swelling subsided reasonably well. Since it didn't become inflamed, it felt okay anyway. The lumps could still be felt slightly.
In October, I had the same problem again—I had a fever again, and the nodes became swollen and somewhat inflamed. After a few days, I contacted the health center and got an appointment. The doctor (who came with a student) looked at my armpit; she didn't feel around the sore/inflamed armpit as I recall but quickly and somewhat curtly stated that since I had been there three times in a short time, it was probably acne-related. She mentioned a disease/a condition, but I didn't believe that either this time. Diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa- which manifests differently, obviously. There is a difference between boils and inflamed nodes deep in the skin. The first time, I had an infection area from the beginning of the chest at the stomach—all the way up to the beginning of the upper arm. It was utterly insane. She prescribed the same type of antibiotic as the first time and said that if I needed help with dressing the wound, I should get in touch. I bought a dressing kit that we used the first time and drained my nodes at home. I have never had problems with acne/boils, and I never used the ointment she prescribed. It has been slightly swollen all the time since then.
Then I didn't have any more problems of this kind. I had escalating back pain, especially from the late summer/fall of 2022, with several bouts of sciatica, which I thought were due to incorrect body posture. This after a knee injury, summer 2022 and I put the heels aside so to speak. That doesn't really belong to the misdiagnosis, but rather it indicates that my cancer was spreading very quickly.
When they finally saw the cancer on a CT scan in December 2023, with large tumors in these areas where I previously had swollen and inflamed lymph nodes (and elsewhere around them), it suddenly all made sense, and I knew immediately, even before I got my diagnosis, exactly what it was.
I then looked in the records Health Center (before, I didn't know that was possible as I had never needed to or been a patient in this way before). There I see what each person wrote, which I have referred to before. They obviously neglected and did not listen to what I said. Had I known that my symptoms would lead to the diagnosis I received, I would have, of course, fought harder for my case, but I didn't think that way at the time.
I never had any boils, which they wrongly treated me for and diagnosed. My immune system and defenses went haywire after the second vaccine shot. It triggered a process, and my immune system couldn't handle the vaccine. I should have received antihistamines or something similar instead, which would have helped to stop and address what happened. My T-cells were completely numbed and did not recover as they should have. They also refer to these infections when explaining the T-cell clonality seen in laboratory studies. The vaccine knocked out my immune system. An immunologist and possibly a hematologist must have understood this already back then if I had been referred further—if they had considered what I was actually describing and the abnormal lymph nodes that were extremely stressed! I should have been sent for an ultrasound, X-ray, had tests taken, and so on and so forth.
I have reported both vaccine injury (product) and mis treatment but both neglected. I´ve been feeling sick and not as myself really since january 2022. Of course the treatment has been tough and after every chemo session,
I´ve been hospitalised and isolated due to neutropenic fever. Spent 13 weeks at the hospital between treatment sessions. At the moment the cancer is gone but i still have a collapsed vertrebal column L4 and nerve damage for the rest of my life
The worst part is the gaslighting and that nobody takes this seriously. And that I can´t get any justice and insurance compensation. I´ve lost at least 300 000 the last year in income
