  • Keele Maynor Email Excerpt

    In 2000 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and in 2001 my margins were clear after my first mammogram after the radiation treatment. So I have been literally cancer free since 2001.

    I started fabricating this story about cancer in 2003 and it has snowballed and finally came to a head. I am relieved for two reasons - I don't have to keep up the charade anymore and I am finally getting some help to figure out why I did this in the first place,—Keele Maynor, in a resignation email to her supervisor.The Chattanoogan: Woman in Cancer Hoax: It Just Snowballed (December 18, 2008)
