Overseas, doctors removed a 60 pound tumor from a lady. The lady was obese, and with the surgery different body parts were removed. Parts that she can still function with. Also, she lost approximately 40 kilograms which is equal to about 88 pounds! That's a lot of weight!
It is crazy to think how long this tumor would have been growing. I wonder why they didn't remove it earlier. Hopefully this will giver her a few more months if not years to live! What are your thoughts?

Thats crazy! But that is so weird that she lost 88 pounds from just having a tumor removed!
Aww. That is sad. I hope the lady is feeling better. I am glad they found the tumor when they did, unsteaded of to late. I mean they did find it kinda late, but its better late then never.
Well its good that they got the tumor out before it got any worse, or bigger. She would have probably passed away if that tumor got any bigger.
That is huge! That tumor weighs more than kid. How could you live with that big of tumor for that long.
I am thinking that the women didn't believe the tumor would grow so rapidly or that she even had one. With all this weight being removed it will probably help with her health a lot. It might also give her more time to live! Congrats to her on trying to make a change in her life!
That is a big tumor. It said in the article that it filled up an entire wheelbarrow. I can't believe they didn't remove it earlier. It's good that the lady got that tumor out though.
holy cow that is a huge tumor i cant believe somebody would let it grow that big and not get it remove when they first found out that they had it
That's weird the the tumor was in her long enough to have grown that large. and that's crazy that she was able to remove 88 pounds on her body.
Wow that's really big! I'm sure removing that really helped with other things. There was probably some sort of reason why they couldn't get rid of it sooner, cause I'm sure they wouldn't let it get that big for no reason, I hope.
I've seen multiple T.V shows about people getting tumors removed, but none of them were this big. The other ones were only around 20 pounds though. Geez.
