Man kisses his wife for the first time in TEN years after cancer forced him to have his face reconstructed twice

A retired father-of-three who was left with a hole in his face after having a tumour removed says he is now able to go outside again after having reconstructive surgery.
Donnie Fritts, 55, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2003 and was told he would have to make a choice between his face or his life.
After speaking with his wife, Sharon, Mr Fritts made the agonising decision to go ahead with the surgery which left him without a nose, upper lip, or palate.
But now the former carpenter, from Georgia, has been able to kiss his wife for the first time in a decade after having a new face fitted, and says he now wants to take her out to dinner.
