I hate that i am having to even ask this as I am so ashamed that I am even doubting such an awful scenario. However, here goes. My mother in law has always been an attention seeker. She had tissue removed from her breast but told everyone it was cancer removal. She has now told people she has lung cancer which I do not doubt. She has told everyone it is stage 4, that it has spread to breast, spine and lymph nodes and has 8 weeks to live. However this was 3 months ago. She is going out and about, throwing parties for her birthday, with no sign of deterioration. She hasn't lost any weight. She remains morbidly obese. She has oxygen but only as and when. This only seems to be when lots of people are around. She is not getting breathless, she is eating well. Not at all what I would expect for someone at end of life. She is not having any treatment. She shaved her head telling people her hair was falling out which I only thought happened if receiving certain treatment. How can I find out if she is lying as this is killing my husband and his mental health. Many thanks
