A Jehovah's Witness who for decades refused all surgery on his horrific facial disfigurement has been given hope by a British doctor and new medical technology.
Unwilling to accept a blood transfusion, Jose Mestre has allowed the bloody tumour that first appeared on his lip in adolescence to obliterate almost all of his face.
Now 15 inches long and weighing 12 pounds, it has blinded him in one eye and made eating a daily ordeal. As it begins to block his airways, doctors fear his life could be in danger.

The problem with the 'download picture' when you click a pic seems to happen to all pics now.
The thing that changed in the picture url is that "s1600-h" is replaced by "s1600-R". Changing it back to -h doesn't work. Google clearly changed something and now it doesn't work any more. I hope this is not on purpose and they will fix it soon!
at least he doesn't have to shave anymore...
Praise the lord for this beautiful creation!
