The lead doctor, an American, waived his fee and other costs were funded through donations, the hospital said. Family members burst into tears of happiness when they discovered he had survived, [URL="http://english.vietnamnet.vn/en/society/17397/vietnam-man-s-giant-tumor-surgery-a-success.html"]reported VietNamNet[/URL]. Mr Hai, who is believed to be 31, has been living with the tumour - which is non-cancerous and linked to a rare genetic disorder - since he was four years old, reported AFP news agency. Part of his leg was amputated when he was 17 in an attempt to stem the growth of the tumour, reports said, but without success. The tumour prevented Mr Hai walking and also hampered sleep. This latest operation was carried out on Thursday at the France-Vietnam (FV) hospital in Ho Chi Minh City and led by US Dr McKay McKinnon, who previously successfully removed an 80kg tumour from a Romanian woman, AFP reported. Family members and friends left their home in the mountainous central area of Da Lat to go to Ho Chi Minh city, where they prayed for Mr Hai and wept tears of joy once they learned he had survived, VietNamNet said.[/release] [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16446239[/URL] That's great!

That's really gross.

[QUOTE=Painties Hose;34079494]That's really gross.[/QUOTE] You don't say?

What's he look like now.

I wouldn't eat that.

[QUOTE=J!NX;34079593]What's he look like now.[/QUOTE] probably not like fat bastard anymore

What do they do with the tumor now that they it off?

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;34079870]What do they do with the tumor now that they it off?[/QUOTE] Bury it deep beneath the earth just incase it gains sentience.

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;34079870]What do they do with the tumor now that they it off?[/QUOTE] Cook it Like all asians do

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;34079870]What do they do with the tumor now that they it off?[/QUOTE] Cremates it.

i thought he was sitting in a boat at first but it is pretty incredible how he survived it and how they actually managed to remove it

More like they removed the man from the tumor.

I wonder how his body can take that stress. Now with that gone, his heart has to adjust to the new pressure pretty quickly since the blood has a much shorter distance to travel.

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;34079870]What do they do with the tumor now that they it off?[/QUOTE] It will provide warmth for needy children.

delicious looking tumor

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;34080333]I wonder how his body can take that stress. Now with that gone, his heart has to adjust to the new pressure pretty quickly since the blood has a much shorter distance to travel.[/QUOTE] that's assuming he didn't lose any with the tumour

I remember hearing about this man a while back. Glad to hear it finally got removed, no one should have to deal with something like that.

He should hang it over his mantle.

[QUOTE=Bobie;34080104]i thought he was sitting in a boat at first[/QUOTE] For a few seconds I thought the lower half of his body was some sort of gigantic potato.

so what does one do with this blob?

[QUOTE=AK'z;34081123]so what does one do with this blob?[/QUOTE] deep fry it

[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;34081140]deep fry it[/QUOTE] or he could have used it as a hopper: [img]http://www.warrentrading.co.uk/images/red_bouncy.jpg[/img]

Now it can be used like one of those expensive fatboy sack lounge chairs! :v: [IMG]http://www.connox.com/m/100031/131824/media/fatboy/Fatboy-Original-braun_440.jpg[/IMG] Anyways, good thing he got rid of it. I wonder if there are records on any "cool" sci-fi style tumors/mutations like extra arms or so.
