You do have a cause of action for malpractice if you underwent unnecessary surgery for cancer that you did not have. Whether the misdiagnosis was a breach of accepted standards of care is something that can only be answered by a pathologist who looks at the slides. You should contact a local medical malpractice attorney who can investigate the case for you. These cases are usually taken on a contingency basis, and the first consultation is free.  A big question is whether you have a financially viable case.

I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
