What is Henrietta not told about during her first treatment and how does this information connect to the Operation Permit Henrietta signed when she was admitted for treatment in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks?

During her treatment, Henrietta didn't tell anybody that some samples of her tumor doctors used for several medical researches. When she was admitted for treatment she gave a permission for an operation, but not for samples of her tissue to be used for medical research.
Hope that these answers will help you!
Regards.
