Woman with strange large tumor

(Baonghean.vn) -Two years ago, Ms. Vieng Thi Nhi (Tung Huong village, Tam Quang commune, Tuong Duong) suddenly had a tumor in her neck. Recently, the tumor has gradually grown larger and has begun to ulcerate and become infected.

Ms. Nhi said: “I was in so much pain that I couldn’t sleep at night. When my head was only as big as my thumb, for the past two years it has been swollen bigger than my head, festering with pus, and the pain is unbearable.”

Nhi's tumor has now started to ulcerate and ooze fluid. Every day, she only has to wrap the tumor with an old rag..

Ms. Nhi has no children and is currently living with a nephew, Mr. Vieng Van Thin, in a government charity house. However, Mr. Thin is also suffering from mental illness and liver disease and is currently unable to work. In 2001, she also adopted an abandoned baby to raise, but her family could not afford to send the child to school. Every day, her family lives on handfuls of rice donated by the villagers. Mr. Lo Van Tham (village chief) said: "When my village saw this situation, everyone felt sorry for Ms. Nhi. Not long ago, the villagers raised a few hundred thousand dong to take her to the district for examination, but the district hospital could not cure her, so they had to take her home."

The house where Nhi and her children and grandchildren live.

Every day, Nhi still has to carry a large tumor on her neck. Every activity, walking, eating is very difficult. The pain caused by the infection torments her every day. Every time she eats, it becomes more miserable and painful.

Ms. Nhi is in dire need of everyone's support and help from organizations.
