These shocking pictures show a man plagued with a 10kg tumour that is bigger than his head.
Watchara Nadee, also known as Kru Lek, from Thailand, discovered that he had cancer in his shoulder last year.
But when his lump started to swell larger than normal, he began to worry and decided to seek hospital treatment.
Despite being severely ill, the teacher still manages to go to work and educate children at the Nakhorn Sawan Technical College.

Kru only has access to medical insurance, but it is limited to 100,000 Thai baht (£2,200) each year.
But his friend, Monk Bhin, is concerned that this won’t be enough to revert his life back to normal.

He said: ‘I think the seriousness of his condition will require three times his insurance limit so, once the limit is reached, he will have to go back to a reduced level of treatment – just the same as the poorest of people.’
Kru doesn’t want to worry his 74-year-old mother, who is paralysed and for whom he is the sole carer.

As a result, he hides his tumour with a scarf to prevent from her seeing it. It is unsure if she knows he has the enormous growth.
Kru attributes his stoicism to his students. He said: ‘My students give me the will power to carry on.’
This comes just days after the MailOnline told the story of a father in Shajadpur, Bangladesh, who had hundreds of bubble-like tumours covering his body.
Shadot Hossain is believed to be suffering from neurofibromatosis – which cause non-cancerous lumps to crop up.
But he is in a race against time to secure surgery which will remove the tumours, saving his eyesight.
Without an operation to slice away the growths, the 47-year-old could permanently lose his vision.
GIRL WITH RARE FACIAL TUMOUR HAS LIFE-SAVING SURGERY
A three-year-old child with an enormous and rare facial tumour underwent a life-saving operation by US doctors.
Melyssa Delgado Braga had what is believed to be one of the largest myxoma’s ever recorded – weighing 5lbs.
Doctors described the benign growth as ‘almost like another head attached to her jaw’.
It had displaced her tongue to the point that she was unable to eat and swallow – leaving her on the brink of being malnourished.
However, surgeons in Sao Paulo, Brazil, warned that she would likely die because the treatment would be too much for her weakened immune system.
But after becoming aware of her case thanks to a Facebook campaign, medics at the Louisiana State University donated their services for free.
They removed the entire growth in an eight-hour procedure in December, allowing her to eat, talk and laugh for the first time in her life.
