FOR nearly ten years Trevor Smithson was told by doctors that he was dangerously obese and had only himself to blame for his constant pain, chronic backache and circulation problems.

Mr Smithson, 53 (aeronautical engineer), says that he first complained about a grossly disorted abdomen and accompanying pain in 1994. He was referred to the hospital by his GP, but when he was seen there he was told he was fat.

When he finally reached the Royal Marsden, he says, the first reaction of Meirion Thomas, his surgeon, was: "So you've not been to see your doctor for years and years, have you?" He had to explain that he had been seeing doctors at regular intervals, with no satisfaction.

Mr Thomas removed what are described in Mr Smithson's discharge notes as "a truly immense intra-abdominal liposarcoma". These are slow-growing malignant tumours that develop in fat tissue, and are often found in the abdominal cavity.

They are soft and can be difficult to diagnose, but Mr Smithson says that he had a range of symptoms that ought to have alerted doctors, including backache, circulation problems in his scrotum and a colon so displaced that it could be felt through the abdominal wall. He also had excessive body weight while not having any symptoms of obesity anywhere else in his body. "I was constantly shopping for ever-increasing sizes of clothes," he said. "I'm a tall man and when I was also that heavy I wore out my shoes very quickly.
