A cancer faker in the United States has been sentenced to 42 months in prison for faking breast cancer, with a judge telling her it was reprehensible that she took donations of sick leave, money and cancer patient support services for five years.

"It seems like to me some confinement is necessary," Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Don Poole said on Monday after lawyers for 39-year-old Keele Maynor of Chattanooga asked for a probation sentence that would allow her to work and pay about $US54,000 ($A59,854) in restitution.

Poole added 10 years of probation to the sentence for Maynor, a mother of three, and ordered her taken into custody immediately. She will be eligible for parole after serving one-third of the prison sentence. He ordered her to start making $US300 ($A333) monthly restitution payments after her release.

"I have problems with somebody who shaves their head and says they have cancer," Poole said.

Maynor cried at times while testifying that she is sorry for "hurting so many people". Maynor said she had felt unloved and carried out the terminal cancer scheme to get attention. She described herself as a victim of emotional abuse as a teenager by her mother and sexual abuse by a stepbrother.

Assistant District Attorney Neal Pinkston said the prison time was justified in Maynor's case because she duped co-workers, friends, groups such as Breast Cancer Network of Strength, a church and a football club.

Maynor in 2008 said in an email when she left her job in the city's regional planning department that her claim of having cancer was a "charade". She pleaded guilty to theft and forgery as part of a deal with prosecutors.

The charade included Maynor getting more than $US4,000 ($A4,434) from a silent auction at a benefit that was held on her behalf. Maynor said she spent that money on Christmas presents for her children.

That is so low, piece of **** scumbag she can go rot in prison for all I care. I've had relatives who have died from cancer and for this lady to take advantage of something like this goes to show how low society can be. Couldn't care about her crocodile tears and also the fact she's been given bail, that's stupid.
