What doctors found astounded them: A cyst in one of her ovaries had grown into a 140-pound tumour. Doctors at Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown removed the cancerous, Stage 1 mass in a five-hour operation Nov. 10. After five hours in surgery, she lost 180 pounds of tumour and tissue, about half her weight, the doctors said. As she was gaining weight, Clancey, 71, of St. Clair, Pennsylvania, said doctors told her just to watch what she ate. At just over five feet tall, she said she felt destined to become “a short round, fat little old lady.”The tumour didn’t really cause her pain.
