PHOTO! Here is a picture of Trista Joy Lathern charged with faking breast cancer to get breast implants. Trista Joy Lathern looks like she has cancer but looks can be deceiving in this case.

Prosecutors arrested Trista Joy Lathern for faking breast cancer to raise $10,000 for implants from others. She was charged with “theft by deception over $15000 but under $20,000″.

Trista Joy Lathern is accused of even shaving her head to go along with the act. A surgeon involved with the matter thought the $3509 in cash Trista Joy Lathern gave him was “stolen money”.

Lathern has since said “she never had breast cancer nor was she receiving any chemotherapy”. Prosecutors say: “Trista said she and her husband had been (having) marital problems and she thought telling him she had cancer would bring them closer together.

“Trista confesses that she gave $3,500 to a local plastic surgeon for an augmentation and later had a bilateral breast augmentation performed in Austin, Texas, costing approximately $6,800.”

“Trista said after the fundraiser she tried to bring attention to herself by having a breast augmentation performed hoping it would help mend her marriage.”
