<br />
Please note: I've informed a KTNV writer/web producer that it is incorrect to use the term 'gigantism' regarding Tanya (and Anne), and that the proper diagnostic term for their illness is ACROMEGALY. <br />

We really enjoyed having him here. He took great care to dig deeply into 'who' Tanya really is...because we all know she is NOT defined by her Acromegaly. A heartfelt "thank you" to <i><b><a href="http://www.mikegarrod.com/" target="_blank">Mike</a></b></i>. We can only hope that the editing process does your artistic and caring footage justice.<br />
<br />
<i>ps...<b><a href="http://www.in-n-out.com/" target="_blank">In-and-Out Burger</a></b> is asking where you've disappeared to!</i><br />
<br />

Then we got a poolside visit from the lovely KTNV, Las Vegas, News13 reporter, <i><b><a href="http://www.ktnv.com/contact/people/123648239.html" target="_blank">Katie Crowther</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Click on link for Katie. </span></b></i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i><i>Photo Left: </i>Mike and </i><i>{SORRY, WE FORGOT YOUR NAME!!!}</i><i> News13 Camera Guy)</i>.</b></span><br />
<br />
It was a bit of a media-fest having TWO companies hanging out with Team Tanya, but we welcome the attention because <i>it's always an opportunity to spread pituitary tumor awareness with others. Remember, it can happen to A N Y O N E!</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Tanya's great news of normal-for-the-first-time-in-10-years, IGF-1 growth hormone level, made big news<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b> (video, below)</b></i></span>. </div><center><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/At9699QCmh8" width="560"></iframe></center><br />

Are you kidding? OF COURSE! Because...<i>we welcome the attention. It's always an opportunity to spread <b><a href="http://www.acromegalycommunity.com/" target="_blank">Acromegaly</a> </b>and pituitary tumor awareness with others.</i><br />
<br />

So much so, that the website blacked out at one point with BANDWIDTH LIMIT EXCEEDED. I've been able to play catch up on all fronts, with some success.<br />
<br />
It's Tanya's hearts desire to help educate the public about early detection of Acromegaly...because <u><i>it can happen to anyone.</i></u><br />
<br />
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Acromegaly, please visit and become a member of the website our dear friend Wayne Brown created: <a href="http://www.acromegalycommunity.com/" target="_blank">ACROMEGALY COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT.</a><br />
<br />
Thank you all for your wonderful out-pouring of love, kindness, and tremendous support for Tanya, Karen, the family and myself! <br />

Tanya's Mom (Karen Strutynski) has spearheaded some experimental doses in Tanya's Growth Hormone regulating injections. It appears that this new dosing is working!<br />
<br />
Tanya had an MRI just yesterday and preliminary results are in, showing ZERO tumor growth! So IF the secondary blood test confirms the 283 (or so) IGF-1 level from her prior blood work, we can plan for a debulking surgery...YAY!<br />

<br />
I just spoke with Karen; Tanya has been admitted to the hospital and is in I.C.U. She was vomiting and running a very high temperature. The cause of this setback is unknown but Doctors are checking for a bacterial infection. She's being given high doses of antibiotics and currently her temperature is normal.<br />
<br />
We ask for your prayers and if you feel so inclined, <a href="http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=TANYA" target="_blank">please light a virtual candle for Tanya</a> (she can read these while being hospitalized).<br />

Dear Friends...<br />
<br />
Some of you know that one month ago I came to Las Vegas to attend the Acromegaly Convention as well as accompany my Mom to a simple follow-up Cardiologist appointment. My Father and I took Mom to the ER a day before her appointment. Very long story short...My loving mother is currently in a Hospice for Stage 4 Lung Cancer spread to her bones. This has been a most horrid and painful month for us all. <a href="http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=hav">Thank you for your prayers.</a><br />
<br />
Love...Tina<br />
<br />

<br />
From Karen Strutynski To Me:<br />
<br />
"Tanya at approximately 8:15 PM received a call from the girls house that Tanya was having a problem. I ran over to check her out and I found that her breathing was labored she was not understanding while she just said that she does not feel well and she thought she was going to die. While waiting for the fire department an ambulance to arrive I started doing some basic neurological check her speech was slurred and then she wasn't making any sense and then within a few minutes after the fire department arriving the fire Capt. who has run on her a few times notice that this was definitely different than in the past I advised him that at one point she had a blank stare and I thought she was having a mini stroke or what we call a TIA transient ischemic attack, or maybe it was a seizure so AMR arrived and we transported her to the hospital that the clots were going through her brain which was what is causing this TIA or mini stroke.<br />
<br />
About four in the morning the emergency room doctor devised that can it was dehydrated had some sort of infection and did have several clots in both legs so they admitted her to ICU she is still in the hospital but she is no longer in ICU and will stay there till it least Monday to we get an updated MRI and EEG of the brain."<br />

<br />
I can not explain how honored we feel to be a part of the Acromegaly Community Family. We were thrilled to meet those in attendance and we truly hope that come 2012, we'll meet many more wonderful people.<br />
<br />
It's good to be with those that 'understand'.<br />
