'Elephant man', Huang Chuncai, Had Second Operation to Remove Face Tumour
Monday, January 7, 2008
Huang Chuncai had his second operation to remove another section of his face tumours which originally weighed 23kg. His first operation last July 2007, had parts of his facial tumours removed. His tumor is result of his genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis, that primarily affects the development and growth of nerve tissues.
Update: Youtube Video of Huang Chuncai's First Operation
LinkHuang Chuncai underwent his second operation to remove the tumours, which currently weigh around 10kg (22lbs), at a hospital in Guangzhou, in southern China's Guangdong province, on January 3.
His facial tumour first became noticeable when he was just 4 years old, the hospital said in July. Since then it grew larger at an ever faster rate, blocking his left eye, pushing his left ear to shoulder level, knocking out his teeth and deforming his backbone.

I have just finished watching the documentary on Huang. I used up most of a box of tissues - he is such a brave person, with a very loving and supportive family and a wonderful team of doctors who carried out the operations.
Huang - I wish you all the best for your third operation later this year.
The documentary made me cry. I hope you are well, Huang. I pray for you sometimes.
me too,just watched the program and was so annoy why has it took this long to find this guy,to give him treatment and for money reason for his opts there should not have been money invoided.a life a life and no money can ever be more than that.all i can say is stick in there huang "buddy" hope your third opt is sucessful.
I'm a grown man and it made me cry. I send huang and his lovely family my best wishes. I hope some kind soul(s) can make his life a little more comfortable and happier. Wish him health everyone.
Just watched the documentary on Huang. It was a very moving and tearful journey into his life but it was positive to see that he had a loving and supportive family. Well done to the doctors for taking on his case and carrying out the operations.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Huang that you make a speedy recovery.
Huang you are so brave...
To think we go through live with our trivial complaints.
Best of luck to you and I will be thinking of you often...I look forward to hearing about a successful outcome.
Love to you and your wonderful family.
God has a reason for whatever happen in our life. For huang, it made people think to be satisfied in life. He made people not to lose hope.
I hope we can raise fund for Huang journey to life. €1.00 or $1.00 for every person i guess will support him and his family.
I was so overwhelmed and distinctly touched by the story. I was on the verge of tears watching it. Why money has to play such a big role to help someone as brave and as unfortunate as Huang still baffles me, but God gives everyone in life a purpose and it showed that God gave you to strength to carry on dispite your condition and I wish you all the best for your third operation.
All the best lad, i hope all goes well for you and your family,
lee
how can we help him??
I feel ashamed of myself for the times i complain about little things I don t like about myself.
This guy said " all i want is to live a little bit longer and be able to look after my parents"
:'(
What an amazing story of the bravest person I've ever come heard of. It's unreal how positive Huang remains. "I'm hoping and praying that your operations are completely successful and you get to live a normal life. Stay strong and know that there are so many people wishing you well".
Does anyone know if there is a fund to contribute to in order to help Huang and his family with their finances?
Why did God do this to this person?
I ahve just watched the documentary on Huang and would love to know how he is doing.He is so brave and made me feel quite ashamed of how much we moan about ourselves.Huang and his family who are very loving and supportive have lived with his tumours for all these years without really complaining. My thoughts are with Huang and his family.
I was shocked at seeing Huangs story. He is so brave and deserves all the help we can offer.
Can anyone tell me how help him.
I just watched the story and I cried. I thought it was so sad. All my prayers go to you and your Family.
i have just seen your story on tv and was left wanting to know how you are now and if you have had any further operations. i would love to know that you have finally been able to do something in your life that would bring you much happiness.
if anyone knows any further details of this courageous young man would love to hear about it. flea
Wow. I found his attitude and humility to be inspiring. I wish that there was a fund to send money to or SOMETHING that could be done to facilitate some of his wishes. (He mentioned traveling in a car with blacked out windows.)
may god bless you your family and all the ones who put their work to make your life easier....Huang you really inspired me. thank you so much for being so brave.
i complain about the weather. i complain about my job. i complain about not having the best seats at a concert. i complain about the cost of gas. i am so humbled right now. i am embarassed for my actions. i am ashamed. i watched this documentary and fell in love with Huangs soul. a change is gonna come
