A woman's life was saved after doctors successfully removed a giant 15st she has been living with for five years.

It was gathered that Kamlesh Devi, 45, from Meerut, in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, claimed her husband stopped her visiting a doctor much earlier because he said the family were too poor to pay for treatment. The decision left her suffering unbearable pain for years just to obey her husband's order.


However, things changed for her after just six months ago, her husband passed away. Ms Kamlesh decided to finally see a doctor - who treated her for free. Remarkably, she found out that the whole operation would be conducted free of charge as part of an Indian poverty scheme.

And surgeons took just three hours to remove the massive tumour, which weighed the same as a large man, from her right ovary last Friday.

Speaking about the successful operation, Surgeon Dr A S Jaggi, 60, said: "She was in severe pain when she came to the hospital. The tumor had started leaking and it would have turned fatal if there was any further delay.

"Three units of blood were infused during the surgery and then the patient was kept in ICU for a day. She is recovering well and we’re now waiting to the results of the tests taken on the tumour."

And he added: "I’ve never seen such a tumor in my whole career. Ovarian tumors are common but never this big. "It must be three feet in length and two feet in width, it's huge. The tumor has now has been sent to a pathology lab for tests."
