Michelle Sexton's HER2 Misdiagnosis Story

“The medical team called us and told us that they made a mistake…they asked how I felt about it. I said I was kind of in shock finding out—I only needed 4 chemo treatments and I ended up with 17, and 25 radiations, and surgeries, and extra visits to the hospital, some blood clots, and all of this due to a misdiagnosis.

I did what I always do – I got online and researched, and started looking up if there were other issues with other people, if they’ve gone through this, and who has experience with this type of medical problem. And I came across Lisa Weinstein online.

Lisa was a gift from God, is all I can say. She cared about me…she was my advocate....she was there for us, and walked us through every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anybody who has medical issues and wants to talk to a lawyer.”

“[Other lawyers in Winston-Salem] seemed very impersonal, more like they were saying what I wanted to hear, instead of hearing what I had to say. And Lisa wasn’t that way. When I started speaking with Lisa, it was like talking to my sister—my very professional sister who knew exactly what to do and how to handle this. She answered everything from a human standpoint instead of an attorney standpoint.”
