Default That breastcancer collection....

Jami Toler, Phoenix woman, accused of pretending to have breast cancer to have her breasts augmented

MESA, AZ -- A woman faked having breast cancer so she could have her breasts augmented, according to Mesa, Arizona police.

Last August, Jami Toler, 27, of Phoenix told her co-workers at Hallmark Hospice that she had been diagnosed with the disease.

She claimed she was going to need a double mastectomy and then have her breasts reconstructed, court records state.

Toler said the surgeries were going to cost around $8,000 and asked her friends and family to help raise the funds.

Investigators say her loved-ones held fundraisers and raised the money, which was then deposited into a bank account.

It was only when Toler returned to work and couldn’t provide a doctor’s note for her medical leave that the staff became suspicious, said Carmen Klemis, the executive director of Hallmark Hospice.

“It’s a form of betrayal,” Klemis said.

Investigators examined her medical records which that did not indicate any form of cancer, but confirmed her breast augmentation.

I sure as heck hope she doesn't vote. She's an idiot.

And it didn't ping on anyone's radar that a double mastectomy AND breast reconstruction would only cost $8000? My two nights in the hospital after the car accident racked up over $14,000.

LOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now / Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride / Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten, / Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score, / It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom / Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go / To see the cherry hung with snow.
