“My mom and aunt were just sobbing uncontrollably, and my aunt was like, why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to me? It was just, it was shocking.”

A civil lawsuit was filed in 2020 in Summit County Common Pleas Court, claiming medical negligence against Summa Health Systems, Summit Pathology Associates, Inc., a number of Akron area doctors, and other entities. To date, there has been no resolution in the case.

Kimberly House along with her sister Andrea House-Shultz tell me their aunt is like a second mom to them, but they say since the misdiagnosis and major surgery led to a serious decline in Cummings health, as well as her mental state because they say depression has set in. Cummings’ family says a woman who was very active and independent before the lung surgery, is now only able to sit in a bedroom chair all day, has trouble breathing, and needs help to even walk a few feet to her bathroom.

But, in court filings in response to the civil lawsuit Summa Health Systems, its doctors, and lab denied all of the allegations in the lawsuit, claiming Cummings was never told she had lung cancer, despite doctors records that were filed in the lawsuit that seem to say otherwise. Summa Health Systems also deny that Cummings needed emergency surgery to remove any signs of lung cancer, and even denied that a biopsy was ever performed in August of 2019.
