News reports have revealed that a team of doctors have successfully removed a tumour weighing 15 stone from a woman's tummy after living with it for five years. The patient, Kamlesh Devi, 45, from Meirut, in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India is reported to have lived with her ovarian tumour for years simply because her late husband and family had been afraid that the treatment would be too expensive.
Despite the excruciating pains Devi was forced to endure, she had agreed with her husband, only agreeing to see a doctor after her husband had died six years ago. Devi had reportedly discovered that she had been entitled to free treatment as part of an Indian poverty scheme, all along. The news reports reveal that the surgeons had taken just three hours to remove the massive tumour, which reportedly weighed as much as a large man, from her ovary. One of the surgeons, Dr A S Jaggi, said that "I’ve never seen such a tumor in my whole career. Ovarian tumors are common but never this big. It must be three feet in length and two feet in width, it's huge. The tumor has now has been sent to a pathology lab for tests."
