...for a very good reason: she's the first person surgeons cut in half, removed much of a cancerous midsection, then put back together with a happy ending.

For some reason this makes me think they've done this unsuccessfully many times before.

that is an incredible story. so she doesn't have her left leg now, but can at least watch her kids grow. As strong as she is for having to go thru this (she had no choice), her husband is even stronger for sticking by her side. Must've been emotional hell for that family.

I wonder if the doctor's lovely assistant placed her in a box, closed the lid, and then the doctor came out wearing a tuxedo, showed a large saw to the audience, and then cut her in half...

Wow that's awesome. I'd like to see a CGI rendering of how they took her apart and put her back together. I'm gonna bet it'll be on 'Mystery Diagnosis' one day.
