Surgery Hope For Man With Giant Facial Tumour | BORN DIFFERENT

SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: http://bit.ly/Oc61Hj

A MAN with a facial tumour that covers more than half his face is seeking £30,000 to travel to the USA for life-changing surgery. Ashok Shrestha, 54, from Lalitpur in Kathmandu, Nepal, suffers from neurofibromatosis - a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow along the patient’s nerves. The growths, while benign, are so severe that they eclipse the entire right hand side of his face, covering his right eye, nose and mouth. After four failed surgeries, Ashok has received fresh hope in the form of an offer from Dr McKinnon at Presence Saint Josesh Hospital in Chicago, USA. To donate to Ashok’s campaign, visit https://www.gofundme.com/together4ash... follow the campaign on Twitter using the hashtag #together4ashok
