When you're in love, you'll do anything to make a relationship work. Does that include lying about having cancer? For Trista Joy Lathern, it sure did. The 24-year-old Texan lied about having breast cancer and then used the $10,000 raised at a benefit to get breast implants.
The reason? She wanted to save her seven-month marriage.
Not only did Lathern lie about using to the money for chemotherapy, but she also shaved her head in order to look like a cancer patient.
Lathern was arrested on Wednesday for lying to the police about her condition, taking the charity money and spending it on the surgery.
And while this was all for the sake of saving her family and marriage, her husband William has since filed for an annulment. According to the Waco Tribune-Herald, William Lathern claims Trista "induced him to get married 'by fraud.'"
The annulment petition says that William was unaware of the fact his wife was cancer-free when they married or when the fundraiser was held.
Looks like there are just some things that you shouldn't do in the name of love.

That pisses me off!!! I have had and am still dealing with breast cancer. I have 8 kids/ 3 not at home anymore, and watched what this has done to them. Why anyone would want to put someone else through so much pain for attention is sick! I never imagined that I would have to deal with such pain and depression. Not just for what it is doing to me, but what it is doing to my family to watch me go through breast cancer. I hope that she never really has to deal with this disease, it is far from a joke. There are so many more important things in life than implants. May God save her soul. She should have had to have the implants removed and her actual breast, then she would know how horrible a thing she has done. it is bad enough for me and millions of others to deal with the effects of breast cancer, we don't need someone making light of it just for implants!

I agree with Shelly. I am 26 years old. My mom was first diagnosed with breast cancer when i was in kindergarten. It came back when I was a freshman in college...this time as metastatic. She still has it 6 years later and has received over 110 chemo treatments. she will die from the disease but she's enjoying her life while she's here.
I've watched her become bald and became physically ill and weak from chemo.
Breast cancer and any cancer is not a joke.

How is it, exactly, that she's causing someone else pain? I find that people don't typically take the food off their own table to contribute to charitable causes, so while it's reprhensible that she stole money in this manner, "causing pain" isn't how I'd describe that... and I get how it can be frustrating or insulting that her actions made light of what you're going through, but it's not like she GAVE you cancer.
