The Man Without a Face

I don't know if anyone saw this but, there was a man who has been living with a tumor for 35 years. His name is Jose Mestre and he lives in Portugal. He couldn't see out of one of his eyes and he had trouble breathing. His mother didn't want him to have surgery because of her beliefs as a Jehovah's witness. After her death his finally agreed to have surgery to have the face-eating tumor removed. After having the tumor removed it was like he couldn't function. He was having psychological problems, as well as, physical problems after the surgery. Jose felt lost without his tumor. I didn't think it would have that kind of affect on him. I guess after having the tumor over a long period of time he had some kind of connection with it and felt that part of him was taken away after the surgery. With the support of his family, mainly his sister, he was able to over come his problems both physically and psychologically. He is now living a happy and full life.

If you would like to see what he looks like here is the website:
