A pensioner dubbed ‘the man with two heads’ can finally sleep with ease after having his giant facial tumour removed.
Jaroon Suanmali, 71, from Lopburi, Thailand, suffered years of unbearable pain after the growth ballooned and he could no longer afford to visit doctors.
Mr Suanmali’s tumour made it nearly impossible to sleep, as well as taking away his hearing when it grew to cover his right ear.
Working as a rubbish collector, Mr Suanmali earned just £2 a day, however, a picture taken by a passer-by and posted in local media led to thousands of pounds worth of donations, allowing him to finally have the 15cm, 4.4lb (2kg) growth removed.
Mr Suanmali said: ‘I have a feeling that’s amazing, it’s like nothing I could have imagined. I have a new life. I am a new person again.’
The pensioner previously said he wanted to die to end his suffering.
