The Man Who Lost His Face

Tweet

I watched a heartbreaking story about a man with huge tumors on his face that obstructed his left eye, covered his mouth and hung down his face. His nose had tumors on it and his tongue was three times bigger than it should have been because of all the tumors on it. When the show started the man was having problems eating because his tongue and lips were much, much larger than it should have been. Because the tumors were filled with blood vessels there was danger of him bleeding to death if they tried to remove them. So there was no doctor who would do the surgery. They finally found a doctor in Chicago, IL that would do it so they flew there to have the procedure done. The doctor was to remove the tumors and do some plastic surgery on his face. The doctor did a remarkable job and the man was pleased. His whole personality became different, he was joking, and dancing, and went for walks out in their town. Just when you think you have problems a show like this comes along on TLC showing you just what problems there are out there in the world. It was a fantastic show that lifted my spirits. Do you enjoy shows like this?
