Medics found that she had a benign tumor growing on her pituitary gland that had caused an overproduction in her growth hormone leading to her excessive growth rate and staggering height that is known as 'gigantism.'  Despite Elisane coming to terms with her diagnosis her classmates at school began bullying her every day calling her hurtful names such as 'tower' and 'giant' that caused so much pain 'I remember locking myself up at home as I felt so sick with the hurtful comments and words people were constantly saying to me,' Elisane said 'I decided to give up and it was the hardest decision I have ever had to make but I knew that I wouldn't last any longer in that environment so my parents didn't have much to say on the matter and I was really lost about where to go next in life.' Elisane met her husband and despite the nearly two-foot height difference the two felt a connection and instantly fell in love Francinaldo didn't make any comments about her height and accepted her for who she is as he was the first person to treat me like a human being and not some freak of nature,' she said 'Although there is an obvious height difference we don't see it as an issue as we love each other just the way we are and wouldn't want anything to change.' The duo quickly got engaged and wed in September 2015 'We used to get comments from people in the street when we were walking together I'm no longer the center of attention now we have our beautiful son,' Elisane said 'Angelo is already three feet three inches at three years old but I don't believe he will grow to be as tall as me because I don't think my condition is hereditary,' she added 'I think he will grow up to be average height - but even if not he should embrace the unique asset he has been given and she is working toward becoming a professional model a dream of hers since she was 15 years old 'Although I haven't been successful just yet I usually go out and take professional photos of myself and add it to my portfolio to pass on to agencies,' she explained 'Despite no agencies picking up on them yet these photo sessions have helped my levels of confidence immensely and I have started to love myself for who I am.' Elisane said she gets comments from people online who have branded her the 'tallest woman in Brazil,' but she noted that while it may be true 'I have learned to love myself for my unique height as there's no one quite like me and I think that's rather special,' she said and I am grateful that God has taught me to overcome these obstacles in life 'Don't let people's evil comments interfere with your life as it's not for them to judge you based on how you look or who you love - stay true to yourself and you'll live happily.'  Gigantism is abnormally large growth due to an excess of growth hormone (GH) during childhood making the child extremely large for his or her age It may begin at any age before the bone growth plates have closed (epiphyseal fusion) Other symptoms may include delayed puberty; double vision or difficulty with side (peripheral) vision; prominent forehead (frontal bossing) and a prominent jaw; headache; increased sweating (hyperhidrosis); irregular periods; large hands and feet with thick fingers and toes; thickening of the facial features; and weakness The most common cause is a non-cancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland that causes the body to make too much GH Gigantism can also be caused by other underlying conditions (which may cause a pituitary tumor) including Carney complex; McCune-Albright syndrome ; Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) and type 4; and Neurofibromatosis In some cases the disease is caused by mutations in the GPR101 gene Treatment typically includes surgery to remove the tumor Medication or radiation therapy may be used to reduce GH release or block the effect of GH If the condition occurs after normal bone growth has stopped (in adulthood) Source: National Center for Translating Sciences (NIH) Seven-foot-tall model is named 'Brazil's tallest woman'Commenting on this article has endedNewest{{#isModerationStatus}}{{moderationStatus}} Click 'OK' then 'Allow' to enable notifications Ayres Sasaki's wife of 11 months has spoken out after the singer shockingly passed away during a concert the 35-year-old rock singer was performing on stage at the Solar Hotel in Salinopolis During his performance, Ayres passed away after reportedly being electrocuted on stage and his wife has since spoken out about his passing Some reports state Ayres hugged a fan who was sopping wet and so when the singer hugged him the contact led a nearby cable to send out a strong electric shock other reports suggest Sasaki was playing his guitar when he was electrocuted it's reported the shock electrocuted the singer and he passed away almost instantly - his death still being investigated by authorities And Mariana Sasaki - Ayres' wife - has taken to Instagram for the first time since news of the singer's passing broke Mariana - who wed Ayres less than a year ago - said on her Instagram story, as quoted by Istoe Gente: "[Translation[ I would like to thank you for every message of affection and comfort for every prayer during this difficult time that we are going through It is not up to us to understand God’s plans but it is certain that His will is always good I haven’t been able to read all the messages yet And it's not taken long for fans of the musician to flood to social media to pay their respects One Instagram user said: "May you rest in peace Sending love and prayers to his family and friends." losing life during a live performance is terrible even for the fans A third commented: "Thank you for being a singer Solar Hotel also took to the social media platform to release a statement on the tragedy The post reads: "We are fully dedicated to providing support to his family and taking the necessary measures We reaffirm our commitment to fully cooperating with the competent authorities for the proper clarification of the events "Our thoughts and condolences are with Ayres Sasaki’s family and friends at this difficult time."
