343KG ARGENTINIAN WOMAN PLEAD TO GET 50KG TUMOUR THAT CAUSED HER TO GAIN EXCESSIVE WEIGHT REMOVED

A morbidly obese Argentinian woman with an 8 stone (50kg) tumour  in her leg has made a public plea for her life after being told she is too heavy to be taken to hospital for treatment.

Isabella Amaral, who weighs 54 stones (343kg), says her weight gain spiralled because of the gigantic lymphoma in her left leg, which needs urgent treatment.

The 30-year-old depends entirely on her friends and family for support and urgently has accused medics of waiting for her to die as she is being refused transport to hospital.

Amaral told local media: ' They say it is impossible to move somebody of my weight in an ambulance, but I know it's a lie because they have done it with other people in my condition, they are leaving me to die!'

Isabella is unable to move from the bed and constantly needs care from her mother, two brothers and family friends, who help to bathe, feed her and keep her company day and night.

However it is understood that the government of Rosario in the Argentine province of Santa Fe, are involved in a dispute and are impeding her from being taken to hospital in an ambulance.

According to Argentinian news site Cronica, Isabella went to hospital repeatedly when she was mobile, but they did not operate on the tumour in time.

She says she now needs specialist care that she can't afford to pay fro in a private clinic and her hometown of Rosario doesn't have the resources to pay for the treatment she needs.

'I have no life, I breathe because the air is free, I need to be transferred immediately', she added in an interview. Isabella said that nobody wants to take the responsibility for operating on her because she 'frightens the doctors and they don't want to see me'.

She said that her tumour slowed her down and eventually immobilized her and that her weight had spiralled at the same time.

'I don't want to be evaluated over  the phone or from a photo,' the distraught woman added.

'I don't believe in the virtual stuff. The doctors who come to my house get scared, they don't even want to look at me, but I want to live, I need my health.'

The distraught young woman has told her story to the media in a bid to get the local government to change their minds and send an ambulance so she can be seen to.

She added: ' I don't want money or donations. I want the whole world to no that they are refusing me the possibility to be attended to like I should be. They are pushing me to my death and they are going to achieve it.'
