Alan Bromyard says his life is 'non-existent' because his condition has 'wrecked' his knees and hips
A man living with a huge five-stone lump hanging from his abdomen has shared his heartbreak after the NHS rejected funding for surgery to remove it twice. Alan Bromyard, 48 and from Long Eaton, has lived with the large lymphedema for almost two years and says his condition 'keeps getting worse'.
Mr Bromyard has had to give up the things he enjoys because of his condition, including his small herd of pedigree cows. "I have farmed all my adult life but I had to sell them because I couldn't work them anymore," he said. Mr Bromyard said two funding applications have been rejected despite his surgeon saying he would "thoroughly benefit from the surgery". The application letter describes the need for "an apronectomy for this patient who has a large abdominal pannus that is severely affecting his mood and daily activities".
