From The Citizens Voice:
Attorneys for a Franklin Township woman with terminal cancer have filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and several area doctors, claiming a curable kidney cancer was allowed to spread because doctors tested the wrong kidney for cancer several times.
In late January, doctors gave Renee Deyo, 47, five months to live.
The suit claims Deyo was being treated for blood in her urine for years and a mass was detected on her right kidney in September 2007. A biopsy was ordered on her right kidney. Doctors mistakenly performed a biopsy and CT scan on the left kidney, which was cancer-free, the suit says.
