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.
Although she's had her stomach drained three times since the growth started, with one extraction pulling nine litres of fluid from her stomach, Deborah's belly has ballooned in size and she now has a waist measuring 55 inches.
