Mum branded “toad” by cruel bullies over 6,000 tumours covering her body reveals dramatic transformation after undergoing surgery


A mum whose body was covered with up to 6,000 tumours has revealed her skin’s dramatic transformation following surgery.

Libby Huffer, 45, said she was branded “lizard breath” and “toad” by playground bullies during decades of abuse over her condition.

Libby has Neurofibromatosis, a genetic neurological disorder which causes non-cancerous bumps to form on her body wherever nerves are present.

An outbreak of electrodessication surgery to kill off 1,000 of the ‘bumps’ on her face and the tissue causing the growths.

To lessen the scarring, she then had C02 laser surgery, which smooths out the skin and reduces the appearances of marks.

She’s noticed a ‘huge difference’ in her appearance since her surgery but hopes that others will be more understanding towards people battling with Neurofibromatosis.

“I have had about 1,000 of the fibromas removed so far.

“My friends and family say that I look great and they notice a huge difference.

“My life hasn’t been any different since surgery other than I have raised lots of awareness for NF, which has always been my biggest goal.

“There’s still a long way to go to heal the emotional damage I’ve undergone over the years, but I know that will only improve over time.

“The more surgeries I have, the more confident I will become and that will help to erase some of my painful memories.”

Libby was a teenager, when hundreds of bumps caused by Neurofibromatosis 1 developed on her skin – the condition affects one in 2,500 people.

I LEFT MY SON AT HOME WITH A BABYSITTER – IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY, HE CALLED ME AND WHISPERED “MOMMY, I’M AFRAID. COME HOME.” My son Ben, 6, got sick, so I left him home with Ruby, our usual neighborhood babysitter. She’d always been great — until Friday. At 2:25 p.m., I got a no-caller-ID call at work. I picked up and heard it. “Mommy, I’m afraid. Please come home.” It was Ben. Whispering. I asked, “Where’s Ruby?” but all he said was, “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.” I sprinted out of the office. When I arrived, the house was QUIET. Locked. Curtains shut. I ran inside yelling for Ben. Silence. Then, I froze as I noticed HIM. What happened to my son that made chills run down my spine is in the comments.

But they were a couple in their 30s with three young kids, and now they had to handle an older man in their home.Donald was well aware of this and so, after gathering his strength, told his son that he wanted to move into a nursing home. His son asked him to put it off until later, but Donald insisted that they go and look at a nursing home nearby and Peter agreed.So the following morning, Donald got into the passenger seat of Peter’s car, and they started driving towards the nursing home he suggested. For some reason, Peter took several turns, and Donald frowned. “Are you sure this is the right way? I feel like you’re going to circle back to your house,” the older man told his son.”Oh, don’t worry, Dad. We have to pick up something from 7-Eleven first,” Peter replied, his hands turning the wheel and his eyes focused on the road.Donald nodded and thought nothing of it. He picked up the paperwork he had printed and read aloud some of the benefits listed on the nursing home’s website.He was concentrating so hard on reading that he didn’t notice when Peter stopped the car. “Oh, get me a bag of chips, please,” Donald said absentmindedly.”We’re not at 7-Eleven, Dad.
