7-year-old hopes to be free of facial tumour

A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD boy has a huge facial tumour which has stretched and blackened his face – leaving other children scared of him. Aditya Mishra suffers from a rare facial condition which has blinded him in one eye. The child, from Ramnagar Sodhala in Jaipur, was born healthy but over time a cancerous tumor has deformed his features. The young boy is often taunted with terms like 'ghost' or 'monkey' and other children run away from him in fear. Aditya’s mother Neetu Mishra has the painful experience of seeing her son live an isolated and increasingly difficult lifestyle.
