Scary Photos Of Man With Half Face After Cancerous Tumors. by Explorers(m): 5:23pm On Jul 07, 2017 |
A man who was left with half a face after it was ravaged by cancer has had it rebuilt by a genius surgeon. Tim McGrath, 38, was diagnosed with Synovial Sarcoma, an extremely rare form of soft tissue cancer leaving him with a grape fruit-sized tumour growing on his face. Medics managed to cut out the cancerous tumour, but his body rejected multiple attempts to rebuild it. But after a year of living with exposed flesh, top surgeon Dr Kongkrit Chaiyasate heard about Mr McGrath's plight, he agreed to help him using skin from his leg and forearm to reconstruct his face. Mr McGrath, from Michigan, is now enjoying every opportunity he is given and the reconstruction work on his face will continue in 2018. He said: 'After the operation to remove the tumour I was heartbroken, I didn't realise that half of my face would be taken away and it wasn't until I went to Dr Chaiyasate that I start to feel real hope again. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4674206/Synovial-Sarcoma-man-left-half-face-cancer.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44 3 Shares

Before and after the sugery. Medics managed to cut out the cancerous tumour, but his body rejected multiple attempts to rebuild it. He is pictured with the tumour on his face and after surgery. Mr McGrath was admitted to hospital where he remained for almost seven weeks following the initial 30 hour operation to remove and then reconstruct his face. Mr McGrath said: 'Before the surgery they gave me the worst case scenario, they said I would have to lose my left eye and my left ear, but I didn't' believe that was going to be necessary. 'When I woke up I was in complete shock, as well as removing part of my face and bone structure, they had removed most of the muscle in my back, they had taken a rib, and they took part of my scapula and part of my shoulder too. 'This was so that they could rebuild my bone structure and the surrounding area however my body rejected the first attempts. 'Eventually I was discharged and the cavity was closed but over time the transplant kept shrinking and I experienced numerous infections. 'There were so many times when I wanted to give up and at times it was difficult to find the strength to carry on.' 1 Share

This is a world where u aren't even sure of what will happen tomorrow or how u will look tomorrow. It is good to always appreciate God for what u have no matter how ''small'' u feel it is. Many people dont have such grace. When u thank God for the present,he will take care of the future. 24 Likes |

oz4real83: Are you telling me he doesn't know God? You guys should stop this nonsense of seeing bad things happening to people and rub it on their face because you are serving a living God and they are apparently to your testimonies they are serving dead gods. Just wish him speedy recovery, strength to overcome stigmatization and find reasons to live. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
