n August 2009, she announced that she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer of the left breast and has since elected to have a double mastectomy performed at the hospital where her mother works.[3][4] Tests following the first operation revealed that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and a second surgery was scheduled for September 2009.[5] Her treatment plan includes chemotherapy.[6]

Stephanie claims her first surgery was delayed for 3 months because she was unable to make the down payment for the cost of surgery and is requesting donations to help pay her medical costs.
