Gran in agony still waiting for operation as stomach balloons to huge size

A grandmother has lived in agony for 18 months as a mass on her stomach has ballooned to 6kg while she waits for a removal operation.

Deborah Bond, 57, wants an apology from her NHS hospital as she claims doctors have failed to extract the mass - believed to be a massive non-cancerous cyst - despite regular appointments since it was first noticed.
