Julia Havey weighed nearly 300 pounds. Her husband was having an affair. And a tumor on her neck that she was convinced was cancerous had just been diagnosed as nothing more than a lump of fat.
“I was beyond humiliated,” said Havey, 48. What Havey didn’t know is that she was about to face one more humiliation that would change her life forever.
