Yao Defen, believed to be the world’s tallest woman, has begun treatment in a Shanghai hospital for a brain tumor which is largely responsible for her extraordinary height.

Yao, who is from a poor farming family in eastern China’s Anhui province, is 2.36 meters (7.74 ft) tall, Chinese doctors say. That is 5 cm taller than Sandy Allen of the United States, who is currently listed by the Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest woman.

Yao, 36, suffers from a large tumor in her pituitary gland, which has stimulated her body to release excessive amounts of growth hormone and has made her bones weak, doctors say.

“I will never be able to lead a normal life, but I hope I’ll be able to take care of myself, buy groceries and cook my own food,” Yao told Reuters on Thursday by telephone from Ruijin Hospital. “Now it makes me too tired,” she said.

Yao is now being treated with a growth hormone inhibitor, her brother Yao Deqing said. Following an examination in the second half of this year, the hospital will decide when to conduct surgery.

Thats a hugh Bitch.

Like i have said about my trip to China last year, I expected many short folks, but soon discovered that they have a huge diversity in height as with any other race.

Just like Africa, u see the bush people and they are small. Not ur typical basketball player.

:rofl: she looks like a downy... like a big dumbass.

She looks fake. And why are her feet off the ground??

^ it seems like they photoshopped the pic ot make her look even bigger... ok lets say the asian tot he left is 5ft tall (which i doupt it since i bet she's taller)... now the one tot he right is probably atleast double her height which makes her 10ft tall? atleast?
