According to local media in the U.S. on the 7th, Allison Fisher (20), who lives in Florida, discovered a giant ovarian cancer tumor as large as a watermelon measuring 50 cm in both width and length last November.

Fisher, who had experienced abnormal abdominal bloating since the 5th grade of elementary school, sometimes carried her belly protruding like a pregnant woman.

When she turned 17, her menstruation did not stop for an entire year, but she was afraid to see a doctor and did not visit a hospital. This was because whenever she met doctors, she was told to "lose weight" unconditionally.

However, Fisher decided to face her health issues after seeing her mother overcome cancer. She underwent an examination at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic last year. The results were shocking. They discovered a tumor close to 50 kg. Fisher had it surgically removed. The surgery was so extensive that it required 46 liters of blood during the procedure.

Dr. Martin Martino, who performed the surgery, said, "The tumor had been growing since Fisher first started ovulating." Fisher plans to lose weight and attend college in the future.
