A dad who underwent surgery to have a cancerous tumour removed had a shock when surgeons found the growth was the size of a rugby ball.
Carlisle man James Allington, known as Jimmy, was diagnosed with cancer in 2021. On December 15th last year he underwent a major surgery to remove a large tumour.
The dad and husband had been on the intensive care unit (ICU) at Royal Freemans hospital in Newcastle since surgeons discovered the size of his tumour.
