Woman with Huge Tumor!!! Yikes!!
Around 45km from HCM City, in Thoi Hoa commune, Ben Cat district, in the southern province of Binh Duong there is a 32-year-old woman who carried tumors of nearly 21kg in weight in the past. Though they were cut, tumors are appearing again. Three years ago, Nguyen Thanh Danh, a woman in Hamlet 4, Thoi Hoa, Ben Cat, Binh Duong province underwent three operations to cut six tumors on her back, buttocks and hips totaling nearly 21kg. At present, on the scars of the old incisions, new tumors are developing, and are now as big as duck eggs. Though the new tumors are not yet painful or itchy, she is uncomfortable because along with the development of tumors, her skin is stretched day by day. Suffering dangerous disease, living optimistically Based on the health records of Ms Danh archived at the HCM City Tumor Hospital, the woman was born in 1975. She entered the HCM City Tumor Hospital on December 10, 2003 with many huge tumors on her body. She experienced three surgeries in 2003-2004 to cut tumors of 20.7kg in weight. The woman told reporters that when she was born, her body had many black and lumpy birthmarks, mainly located on her back, hips, groin and thighs and innumerable moles. Along with time, the birthmarks on Ms Danh’s body became darker and lumpier, like toad skin. In 1998, at the age of 23, Danh’s parents took her to the HCM City Tumor Hospital for examination. Doctors said that she had blood tumors and they didn’t dare operate, afraid of being unable to coagulate the blood. They asked the family to bring her back to the hospital after a period of time. However, as the family was poor the girl couldn’t return to the hospital till after the tumors had become huge. Danh had to carry a giant tumor that was one meter long. According to Danh’s health records, the tumor on her right hip and back was 100x60x30 in size. As the tumors were too big, Danh became a hunchback. She always had to wear loose clothes to hide the tumors. Though in such a circumstance, the girl still participated in all social activities in her commune. New tumors developing In late 2003, tumors on Danh’s body developed very rapidly, making her skin stretch and bleed. Every two or three days, she got a temperature and each time like that she had to take a painkiller. Danh couldn’t stand it any more and she returned to the HCM City Tumor Hospital. Nguyen Thanh Danh (right) is wearing a loose blouse to hide her tumors. She passed three operations, the first on December 31, 2003 to cut tumors of 17.2kg. Four more tumors were cut on February 20, 2004 with a total weight of 2.8kg and the last was on July 13, 2004 with two tumors of 0.7kg. At the age of 30, Danh finally had escaped the huge tumors on her body. However, three years since the last surgery, the dark birthmarks, which were very small before, have developed as big as duck eggs. Danh said that she numbers seven tumors like this on her body. “I don’t dare to eat much because I’m scared that nutritive substances will feed the tumors,” Danh said. Because of strange tumors, Danh is afraid of dreaming to have a family. · · |
