Basketball-size tumour removed from Karnataka woman’s stomach
In a successful story from Hubballi district in north Karnataka, a basketball-sized cancerous tumour was removed from a 50-year-old woman’s stomach. A team of doctors at Hebsur Hospital who operated on the woman said the patient is doing fine and there are no complications post the surgery
Nasrin, aged 50, came with stomach pain and swelling. From one month she had been visiting many hospitals. In the MRI scan report, it was detected as a cancerous tumor. Her relatives got her here, we also checked and got confirmation. Her hemoglobin level was 5gm, so we gave her three bottles of blood on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday (June 8) surgery was done. It was a 4 kg tumour and we removed it successfully.
