Diagnosed with a rare terminal cancer, a 39-year-old mother from Texas underwent several chemotherapies before learning that she did not in fact have ;nbsp;no cancer.

The events take place in Texas at the end of 2022. Lisa Monk, 39, goes to the hospital for stomach pains that she ;she suspects it may be linked to kidney stones, reports the Daily Mail.

The examinations then revealed two kidney stones, but also reported a mass on his spleen. In early January 2023, she underwent an operation to remove the organ. The spleen is then sent to several laboratories, three in total, before a fourth finds a rare and aggressive terminal cancer, called clear cell angiosarcoma, reports Mirror.

Angiosarcoma is a type of cancer that forms on the lining of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, according to the Mayo Clinic. Despite treatments available, this cancer is considered to have a poor prognosis, regardless of age or sex.

15 months to live

"He (the doctor) told me that the most optimistic thing he could say was to give me 15 months (at live)", Lisa Monk said in a video.

Upset by this terrible news, the mother announces it to her husband and her two daughters: "I didn't tell them Whether it was terminal or I was only 15 months old, I just told them it was bad, but I was going to try to fight it", she says in the video.

At the beginning of March 2023, the mother begins chemotherapy sessions "aggressive" and "intensive". During this period, Lisa Monk lost all of her hair. The second round of chemotherapy made him sick and left him with "silver skin", she explains.

"It was a very dark time. I wrote goodbye letters and letters to grandchildren I would never meet".

"The doctor then congratulated me, which really bothered me"

During a routine appointment in April, everything changes: she has never had cancer. His doctor explained to him that the pathology report was incorrect. He then congratulated him, instead of apologizing for his mistake: "The doctor then congratulated me, which made me ;really bothered", Lisa Monk revealed.

But the error does not stop there. The mother claims that after consulting the pathology report, she realized that it was dated a month earlier. Which means the hospital had the information before his second round of chemotherapy, but simply didn't read the report before his appointment.

Although the hospital was at fault, the mother was not able to have the costs of her hospitalizations rejected. Today with his family, they still pay the bills.

"They have ruined my health and my insides are cooked", says Lisa Monk whose anger does not pass.
