it's a mailgnant tumour

Quote:
A man told by doctors he was obese plans to sue the hospital after finding out he actually had a malignant tumour growing in his stomach for nine years.

When the tumour was finally detected at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London and removed it weighed 55lb (25kg).

Trevor Smithson, 53, of Yateley, Hampshire, said he visited the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, several times and even had three operations.

The hospital said it had received a complaint and was investigating.
Come on now, a 25Kg tumour is easy to miss........
