Woman sues for $1.8M over hysterectomy mastectomy
Elisha Cooke-Moore
"I wish this on nobody  nobody  " 36-year-old Elisha Cooke-Moore  tells KTVL  which has a copy of  her  lawsuit filed last week.  Cooke-Moore  says  she  underwent genetic testing because both  her  mother and grandmother had cancer.
The lawsuit claims  Cooke-Moore  was wrongly told the test showed  she  had the MLH1 gene mutation and Lynch syndrome.  She  says  she  was told by gynecologist William Fitts that  she  had a 50 percent chance of getting breast cancer and an up to 80 percent chance of getting uterine cancer.
 She  says nurse practitioner Lori Johns recommended surgery based on the test results. Months after  her  surgeries   Cooke-Moore  says  she  was reading the test results for  herself  and says they were clearly marked "negative " the Washington Post reports.
âQuite frankly  we are stumped to why they would make this mistake â  her  lawyer tells the Oregonian. The hysterectomy put  Cooke-Moore  into early menopause  and  she  says the botched mastectomy has required more than 10 corrective surgeries.
 She  says  she 's been diagnosed with PTSD.
"It's terrible "  she  says. "As a woman  they took what God gave me. I don't even feel like I am one at times."
The mother of five now says  she  should have gotten a second opinion before having the surgeries.
 Her  lawsuit names Fitts  Johns  the Curry Medical Practice  the Curry Medical Center  and surgeon Jessica Carlson. (This woman sued after losing her limbs in a donkey attack.)
