In Episode 23 of AcroTales we meet Jeremie from the Philippines.   Jeremie's story is one of challenges, resilience and hope. Diagnosed with a tumour at just 19 years old - and right in the middle of Covid - he explains his journey to diagnosis, the treatments he received and how - through strength and adversity - he is taking ownership of his condition and is now a leading advocate for Acromegaly in the Philippines.

Episode 24 - Cas

AcroTales is a series of interviews with people living with Acromegaly - a rare condition caused by a benign tumour growth in the pituitary gland.If often takes 6-10 years for Acromegaly to be diagnosed and patients usually have a complicated journey to diagnosis. Acromegaly causes an excessive release of growth hormones which results in enlarged facial features, growth of hands and feet, changes in jaw and bone structures, loss of libido, visual problems and more. In each AcroTale, patient and advocate Dan Jeffries talks to acromegalics from around the world, discussing diagnosis, treatment and the effects on social and personal life.
