Acromegaly and Other Pituitary Diseases Can Strike Anyone. Learn More, Learn the Truth Here at The "Official" Tanya Angus Website
A word from Karen (Tanya's Mom): "We want to thank every one who has taken the time to write to us. I read the Emails, Guestbook messages, Blog comments and candle wishes to Tanya and they make her smile! It really puts joy in her heart. Thank You, All!"
Maybe you're here because you saw Tanya in the Media or in, "Help ~ I'm Turning Into A Giant". If so, you should know that the success of lowering her growth hormone by way of medication (featured at the end of the program) was extremely short lived. Tanya's growth hormone shot up again in the following month and has remained very high above the normal level.
Perhaps you're here because you want to learn more about Acromegaly, Acromegalic Gigantism, or you or someone you know is wondering if they have the same condition. While both Tanya and Igor (featured in The Learning Channel/Discovery documentary) are extreme cases of Acromegaly, there are far more average looking people (similar to 'Mary', of the same program) affected by this disease, worldwide.
Whatever the reason, you've come to the right place and we're glad to have you! Tanya and her Mom Karen are happy to be helping people from all walks of life by sharing their story. >>> more

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STATUS UPDATES~
December 23, 2011 Tanya's levels are creeping back up and are currently 440.
May 2011 The great news about Tanya's GH levels return to "normal" in December was regrettably, short lived. She's had 2 more test result since then showing here levels still in the mid 600 range. We waited for the follow up tests to be certain, before posting the news.
Tanya was released from the hospital January 10, 2011 for an intestinal blockage and a 16mm kidney stone. A biopsy was taken of a Polyp found in her colon. She'll be having surgery to remove her gall bladder and that 16mm kidney stone as soon as her strength gets better. Your good thoughts and prayers are appreciated! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VERY SPECIAL THANKS~ A very special thank you goes out to ICELA GURROLA. Icela works for Las Vegas Metro Police Department as a seamstress. She's donating of her personal time and effort to make new clothing for Tanya. Way To Go Icela!!!
Mystery Passenger and AMR to the rescue!!! Tanya and Karen flew to New York 11-10-2010 to be on a TV show, once again speaking up about Acromegaly. A female passenger (known only by the name "Lauren") gave up her first class seating on A.A. flight 1432 from Dallas to Newark, so that Karen could sit with Tanya (Karen was booked by the production company to sit in coach while Tanya was booked to sit in the roomier first class). Thank You LAUREN!
AMR to the rescue...Again! This time AMR pulled through in New York by sending Shane, Tony and Chris to transport Tanya and Karen. More to come soon! Thank You AMR...You ROCK!!!
