Stacey Heath was diagnosed with stage 0 breast cancer in June. After much thought she opted for a mastectomy on heft breast and a DIEP flap tissue reconstruction. During her surgery, however, it was discovered that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and she was upgraded to stage 3 cancer. This meant her battle with cancer would be longer than originally thought. After recovering from her surgery Stacey began her chemotherapy treatment. Stacey's battle with breast cancer has taken its toll on her entire family, especially her children.
