A Chinese mother-of-two has been left disfigured by tumours which have been growing on her face for the last ten years.

Li Hongfang, 40, is shunned in public because of the rare condition which has caused her face to slowly swell.

She has been unable to get medical treatment for Chordoma because she cannot afford it. The illness is a form of bone cancer which causes tissue to grow.The Daily Mail

The above is only an excerpt, so view the source to not be an ignorant dippoo.

The mother was rather pretty before this all happened. :(

Life can be really cruel. I hope she can receive the help she needs somehow, but it's not looking very likely. I find it ironic when China can boast having a strong military that is getting stronger, but like pretty much every other country, it ignores all but the richest of it's people due to the obsession with wealth.

That's what she said too and I don't think there's anything wrong with monsters.

I was expecting her to look a lot worse.

Still though, that's terrible. I hope she gets treated. :(

Lack of education - she should have gone earlier to the doctor Lack of money - she should have had those removed earlier Unless wealth is somehow redistributed (why would anyone want more than 1 billion dollars) the people from poor countries don't stand a chance.

No, I wouldn't. To me she's just a fellow human being who has had a lot of bad luck and needs all the help she can get to be able to be treated for what's happened to her body. So many people are outright petty, greedy, selfish, narrow minded, hateful and cruel. I don't want to be like the many who would shun her just because she looks different due to a very rare and cruel illness.

I'd admit I'd take sly looks at her from a distance, it's not something you see everyday, but in no way would I treat her any differently other than that.

This is an interesting question I would probably stare awkwardly given my intrinsic interest in medicine and human physiology. I wouldn't treat her any differently, but I would feel uncomfortable being fairly close to her, given how unnatural and foreign a face like that is to most people. I'm not going to be like a few people on here and say I'd treat her as if she was a supermodel and ask her out and all that though. Likely because I'm not all too concerned with my moral character and my GS popularity.
