Take My Tumor: Before & After

These Take My Tumor transformations are incredible! Click through to see how the doctors have changed these patients' lives forever.

Jennifer: Before

Jennifer got into a tubing accident in 2014 and her abdomen absorbed most of the impact. A tumor began to grow on her stomach and a few years later, she began to worry about its size. The tumor was also affecting her relationship with her partner, Bill. Although Bill said he found Jennifer attractive, she experienced self-confidence issues due to the growth on her stomach.

Jennifer: Before

The tumor became veiny and took over Jennifer's abdomen. After speaking with her local doctors, she decided it was time to seek help from an expert. She hoped that Dr. Kimberly Dalal would be able to remove her tumor and change her quality of life.

Jennifer: After

After testing, Jennifer's turmor turned out to be a rare form of cancer. Thankfully, the mass was removed and she was cancer free!

Jennifer: After

Although Jennifer's relationship ended, her zest for life was only getting stronger. Jennifer said she felt lighter and had more energy than ever. She was definitely feeling herself and enjoyed girl's night with a friend. She even got back into hiking and other activities for the first time in years!

Marlow: Before

When Marlow was 12 years old, a golf ball-sized growth appeared. He was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, an incurable condition that causes tumors. As he got older, he developed a large tumor on his back and one on his neck.

Marlow: Before

After getting the tumor on his back removed, he wanted to see if he could get the one on his neck removed as well. This tumor caused a bend in his spine and affected his mobility. He also felt the heavy weight of the tumor and it caused bad headaches and migraines. So, he turned to Dr. Ryan F. Obsorne for help.

Marlow: After

Although Marlow's surgery was complicated and risked nerve damage, he came out on the other side better than ever.

Marlow: After

Marlow took a chance by removing the tumor on his face and it definitely paid off for him, both physically and emotionally. Most of all, he was glad that his two daughters just saw him as dad, with or without his tumor

Amy: Before

Amy first developed a mass on her back 17 years ago. She got out of the shower one day and discovered a small bump. After checking with a doctor, she learned she had a benign lipoma and it grew more over time.

Amy: Before

Since insurance companies considered the removal cosmetic, Amy put it off. 17 years later, she wondered if she had waited too long. She was nervous that her tumor had become cancerous over the years, so she visited Dr. Jason Cohen to get it looked at and potentially removed.

Amy: After

The surgery was a success and Amy was even happier with the results than she expected to be. Her tumor was indeed benign and her health was on the up and up.

Amy: After

Amy had a new spring in her step after her surgery. She got her confidence back and went swimming after so many years of hiding her body.

Tim: Before

Around 2007, Tim developed what looked like a small pimple by his ear. He tried to pop it, but it wouldn't burst.

Time: Before

Over the years, his "pimple" grew into a large cyst and soon, it took over the right side of his face. His friend named it Timmy and it became a running joke thanks to these googly eyes. He often used humor to deal with his condition.

Tim: Before

After getting in contact with Dr. Osborne, he knew it was time to finally get the growth removed.

Tim: After

7 weeks after his surgery, Tim was thriving! He got a close shave at the barbershop for the first time in years and being tumor-free gave him a newfound confidence.

Tim: After

Tim loved his new look and his tension headaches were gone! He was ready for a new beginning.

Alexandra: Before

Alexandra's tumor began growing in elementary school. Back then, it was the size of a walnut. Years later, the growth was estimated to weigh 20 pounds.

Alexandra: After

Dr. Osborne was able to remove Alexandra's tumor after six hours of surgery. It changed Alexandra's quality of life drastically.

Alexandra: Before

In the past, Alexandra couldn't wear necklaces and had trouble getting dressed because of her tumor.

Alexandra: After

Now, Alexandra is able to accessorize and dress however she likes. The removal of the extra weight has increased her balance and mobility greatly.

Alexandra: After

She is ready to take on the world and try many more dresses!

Claudia: Before

10 years ago, Claudia discovered a golf ball-sized bump on her buttocks. She was afraid to see a doctor in case her growth was something cancerous. As time went on, it got bigger and harder to manage.

Claudia: Before

It was painful for Claudia to wear certain kinds of clothing because of her tumor's location. She was urged by her family to seek help and she finally visited Dr. Jason Cohen.

Claudia: After

Today, Claudia doesn't struggle in her everyday clothes anymore. Her recovery went better than expected as well.

Claudia: After

Claudia is able to buy pants in her true size and she's in much better spirits since her surgery!

Charmaine: Before

43-year-old Charmaine lives in Trinidad and has NF-1 neurofibromatosis. It was passed down to her from her mother.

Charmaine: Before

1 in 3,000 people have Charmaine's condition. However, her case is more severe. When she started secondary school, her condition developed with just a few bumps around her face. As time went on, more and more appeared.

Charmaine: Before

It became difficult for Charmaine to move around and her pain only got more extreme. She couldn't even play with her granddaughter and worried that her condition would get passed down to the rest of her family. So, she flew to Los Angeles and asked Dr. Osborne for help.

Charmaine: After

Over the course of 10 weeks, Dr. Osborne performed 24 surgeries on Charmaine — with over 60 hours of surgical intervention. Now, Charmaine is more mobile and her smile lights up the room! She looks so happy with the outcome of her procedures.
