    Angie lived in misery for so long and was neglected for so long only to find her tumour had turned malignant . Then she dies from the disease in August 2018 . One of the most heartbreaking programmes I have ever watched . Of course it's beyond belief that her tumour was allowed to grow in the way that it did . Unforgiveable .
  • Me being a 40+ African American male I have too say, those 2 brothers/doctors gave that woman back her life- God bless ALL of them.
  • @frazzle657
    Imagine being the parents to those men. You'd be beyond proud
  • These doctors are an example that young people should look up to! Heroes.
  • @edwardrobo1

    Angela Rene Quinton Twiggs sadly passed away in 2018. RIP to a very courageous lady, mother and wife.
  • It was so kind of these doctors to give her this operation for free. I know she ended up dying later from the cancer, but they for sure made her feel better instantly after they removed the tumor. They made her final years happy.
  • @larnakeane3815
    These two Surgeons are not only committed and brilliant; they have huge hearts. That is easily seen. What is also amazing about these two men, is that they are humble. God Bless ALL.
  • @Jewkesman
    What gets me is the other doctors who just told her to find a specialist and didn't refer her to one. how do they still have licenses? They left her at risk.
  • @lesterreyes2577
    I’d like to see how the tumor has been removed. The results were awesome. Amazing plastic surgery.
  • @jk11463
    These two talented, compassionate physicians are truly a gift to the field of medicine. Unfortunately, this brave woman passed away from her cancer.
  • @jimbingham99
    God has truly blessed mankind with brilliant doctors such as these
  • @rekozma
    My heart breaks for this couple. Has her tumor removed just to find out that it was cancer and spread to her lungs.
  • Thank GOD for doctors like these two young men. Their skill is a gift, their courage to act is inspiring.
  • @steph1567
    Rest In Peace Angie, I was so blessed to have gotten to be a small part of your life. Fly high in heaven angel ❤️
  • @debramoss2267
    So very sad to learn of her passing, her family and loved ones must have been devastated. I hope their happy memories soon outweigh their sadness. Having died and been revived on multiple occasions I can promise she is in incomparable Bliss, now and you will see her again, you are part of each others eternity.
  • @bonniebrock5109
    I typed into the internet 'Angie with the face tumor' and info about it came up. And as of Feb 2018, shes still alive and doing fairly OK. Update - after more then 20 replies, yes I know she is dead now!!!
  • @birgitlaks9754
    Found on internet that Angie passed away on August 17, 2018. She only had 2 short years to enjoy life without a large tumor on the side of her face. Rest in Peace, Angie

    I was told my tumor was benign too; but it wasn't. I took my doctors advice to come back in a year. A year later, he still blew me off, saying it was benign. Started to say he was 100% sure, corrected himself and said 99% sure and that he'd send me for a biopsy to calm my fears. Imagine my shock when the surgeon called me and told me I had cancer. After the fact I discovered my doctor didn't follow protocol. I decided if I died b/c of the cancer I'd have my brother sue him. I lived and 27 years later have had no recurrence.. There is no excuse for this kind of thing to happen. I had good medical insurance too. Money was not even an issue. The issue was the doctor. DO NOT TRUST YOUR DOCTOR 100%. They are not God. They are humans and imperfect. I wonder how many other women got a delayed diagnosis and paid with their lives b/c of my doctor.
