The woman was transferred to the provincial hospital, where doctors found a big tumor on her chest and performed urgent surgery to save her life.
Dr. Thiet said: "The patient had a huge tumor and it was more dangerous as it was right in the chest. If we did not conduct an urgent operation, she might have died.
