Lisa Monk, Mom Misdiagnosed with Cancer, Says Mistake Destroyed Kids’ Innocence

Lisa Monk — a woman misdiagnosed with cancer — says she’s not just angry for herself, but she’s mad for her children … who she says lost their innocence because of this ordeal.

We spoke with Lisa on “TMZ Live” … who took us through her timeline of events — beginning when she was improperly diagnosed with cancer, and her account is horrifying.

Monk says the hospital treating her ran its own in-house pathology report after she’d been diagnosed by a previous medical team. About a month after the test results came in, LM says a nurse practitioner finally looked at them … and, looked at her in horror.

Lisa says the nurse rushed to get a doctor … who explained she never actually had cancer — before CONGRATULATING HER instead of apologizing.

Monk says the in-house report came in after the first round of chemotherapy … but, because the hospital waited to read it, she also went through another round of chemo — one she says left her looking and feeling super sick.

Monk says her relief turned to anger all in the same moment … and, she says she’s still super PO’d at the hospital — WHICH IS STILL BILLING HER.

Lisa says the financial burden isn’t as painful as the emotional trauma … which she says stole the innocence of her children who had to grapple with the prospect of her mom dying.

Unclear what action — if any — Lisa plans to take against the hospital — but, it seems clear her emotional journey’s far from its end.
