Somai, a 55-year-old farmer from Basti in Uttar Pradesh, India, had been living with a dangerous health issue for nearly two decades. He had a large tumor growing on his neck, but he didn’t take it seriously for a long time.
Somai thought the swelling was just a third gland that had enlarged, so he ignored it. Over time, the tumor grew and became almost as big as his head. Despite its size and the obvious risk to his health, Somai continued with his daily life, tending to his farm and ignoring the growth.
As the years passed, the tumor’s size became more alarming, but Somai still didn’t seek medical help. Eventually, the tumor weighed about 1.4 kilograms, which is roughly the same as three pints of milk. Somai’s situation was becoming more dangerous, and his life was at risk. Finally, he decided to seek medical attention.
When Somai finally went to the hospital, the doctors were shocked by the size of the tumor. They quickly understood the severity of the situation and realized that the tumor needed to be removed immediately. Despite its massive size, the tumor was found to be benign, meaning it wasn’t cancerous. This was a relief, but the surgery was still risky due to the tumor’s size and location.
The doctors performed a complicated surgery to remove the tumor from Somai’s neck. The surgery was successful, and the doctors were able to remove the entire tumor.
After the operation, Somai was in recovery, and he had a lot to be thankful for. He had narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation, and his health was on the road to recovery.
