And of course it's totally unthinkable that these newly found growths could have been cells that metastisized from the original tumor.

From the article:
Last year, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., told her that Hoegh had accidentally cut into her tumor and caused the spread of the cancer, which is terminal but treatable, according to the lawsuit. Schroeter's lawyer, Roxanne Conlin of Des Moines, says the Mayo doctor found out about the mistake by reading her client's medical records.
She's got a leg to stand on...

The doctor would be equally at fault:
“the Des Moines doctor removed her tumor in 2002, but he never mentioned it was cancerous...”

Woman Claims Doctor 'Spilled' Cancerous Tissue into StomachUnless he poured the cancerous cells down her throat, or made an incision directly into the woman's stomach, this is one of the most poorly written titles ever.
Abdomen. Not stomach.

Wonder what would happen if Lavonne Schroeter took this this suit before DC judge Roy Pearson (the a-h*le who sued the Korean cleaners (Chungs) for $84 million over a lost pair of pants). Tort reform NOW!

It could be, sure. I have a hard time believing she was never told or never asked if the removed tumor was cancerous.
What's the Mayo Clinic doctor's angle on this?

Guess we’ll find out when the info in the medical records is made public during the trial.

I'm not an Oncologist, but I am unaware that it's scientifically possible to inject a subject with cancer.
I am also in doubt about whether this would work even with your own cancerous cells.
Certainly, it's impossible to take a hypodermic needle filled with cancer cells and inject a patient with it and 'give them' cancer. Cancer researchers have been trying this for decades and haven't met with success to my knowledge. Such a thing would be a milestone event in cancer research.

“...the cancer, which is terminal but treatable...”
WTF?
