A woman who had both breasts removed in error because of a biopsy result that was later found not to be hers, appeared on Good Morning America earlier today, Thursday, and talked about her story.

Darrie Eason, a 35 year old woman from Long Island, New York, had a double mastectomy after a tissue sample from a lab based in New York came back positive for breast cancer.

Doctors later told her she did not have breast cancer and “never did”, she said on the TV programme. Apparently there was a “lab mixup”.

The New York State health department reported that Eason’s biopsy sample had been mislabelled at CBLPath Inc’s laboratory in Rye Brook, said a report on ABC News earlier today.

Eason has filed a lawsuit against the laboratory, CBLPath, who are headquartered in Ocala, Florida, for an undisclosed sum, according the Associated Press.
