About this work
Description
Follows the story of Lucica Bunghez, a Rumanian woman with an 11-stone neurofibromatosis tumour growing on her back. Although the tumour is benign it has become a life-threatening parasite which is literally destroying her body. Bunghez undergoes surgery, we see quite detailed footage of her 12-hour operation. Alongside this story we follow a young English man, Matt Peperell, who was born with neurofibromatosis but has only had small unproblematic tumours to deal with up until now when he is developing a large tumour inside his right thigh. We follow him through surgery. Fortunately in both cases here the results are good and the two subjects of the documentary go on to lead healthy lives.
