Unsure whether someone is lying

How do you go about finding out this is a lie? Or if it is? 
 

My sister and I stopped talking for a couple of weeks over an argument. She then messaged me asking to see my son and I said no and to leave us alone, which then lead her to telling me she had secondary liver cancer. I believed her straight away and the next week I went round and seen her. She couldn't stop crying, she was so fixacted on the fact she was going to die. We got over our differences and I was there for her, but I started to doubt it when she didn't tell anyone except close family about it. After that everything she was saying didn't make sense. Having chemo at home? Does that happen? The few people I've asked about it said it doesn't sound right. She drinks alcohol on occasions is that allowed? She still dyes her hair too? She doesn't know what stage it is? I have no experience with cancer so I'm not sure what's right and what isn't. Apparently the chemo hasn't worked for her and she isn't allowed an operation so she now has to have injections? One injection a week for 3 months, but I'm not sure what injections they are. The few people I've spoken to about this have said it must be a lie so she can keep my son in her life. I'm so clueless. I just need advice if this sounds like she is lying or could it actually be genuine?

    My husband had secondary liver cancer , there has to be a primary that it has traveled to the liver from, did she say where that is? He was diagnosed at 43 and given 4 months to live. He had chemo in hospital then just palliative care for pain relief, he was very thin and a bit yellow. He still had the odd drink as he didn't have long, it upset me but his choice and probably made no difference.  He lost his hair from the chemo though not everyone does. It was obvious he was sick...walking down the street people would stare at him, however when he was first diagnosed (and it was in his liver) you would not have known, the chemo knocked him for six and the weight fell off. Try and find out where the primary cancer is and that may tell you more, terrible to be suspicious but pretty sick of someone to make something like this up for their own gain too...
