Cancer.

Hello,

Someone I know "claims" to have cancer. Not sure if we believe them and just wanted some advice. 

This person is known for lying so here goes,

They've not had a biopsy or any kind of operation just chemotherapy and radiotherapy together. They went on holiday a few weeks back with pills to help with chemotherapy and radiology but looking at them they look like nureofen and paracetamol, this person drinks heavily nearly every day and also go a new tattoo plus a lot more that doesn't add up. 

Can you get a tattoo whilst having chemotherapy and radiotherapy? I don't know much about cancers dos and don't but I wouldn't of thought it'd be allowed as your immune system will be low etc. 

Also any ideas how we could trick them out to definitely find out if they are lying? 

Thank you.

Even if drinking and getting tattoos aren't allowed while having chemo (and I don't know whether or not that's true), that doesn't necessarily mean that somebody who does these things isn't having chemo. It may simply be that they are not following medical advice.
