A 36-year-old woman is suing her healthcare providers, claiming that both of her breasts and her uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes were removed unnecessarily.
Elisha Cooke-Moore, from Oregon, has a family history of breast cancer and decided with her doctors to undergo genetic testing.
Her lawsuit for $1.8 million, filed on Thursday, claims that her doctors recommended she go forward with a hysterectomy and double mastectomy based on their misinterpretations of her blood work.
It was only after both operations had been done that Cooke-Moore looked through her own medical charts and saw that her tests had been negative for the genetic indicators of cancers, according to report by the Oregonian.
