Hi everyone. I need some advice. My brothers partner has told him she has breast cancer but I strongly have my doubts. I appreciate this is something that no sane person would lie about but as you can appreciate my doubts are there for a reason.
it started with constant guilt tripping when he was away from her saying she was ill and he needs to go to hers due to this. She said she had IV chemo every week but would drive herself to and from, no bruise marks for the cannula. She handed in her notice at work as soon as the managers applied pressure to retrieve her doctors note and says she has not evidence to supply as the doctors didn’t give any. She drinks and smokes excessively. She’s dyed her hair, no signs of it falling out. She refuses to let him discuss it with any family member of hers. She said they had to put a hold on the chemo due to a form of bone disease she has. It’s now resumed and said they can’t get a vein through her arms so they do the IV chemotherapy through her foot. She’s now said that the chemo has been reduced to 1 session per month as she’s getting better. She refuses to let him go with her and said she has specifically booked in for the day of the week he works away so it doesn’t burden him. When he insists on going, she shuts him down and says no however wants his attention in all forms elsewhere.
I may may be looking into this significantly but my gut is telling me it’s a lie to get his undivided attention.
what are people’s thoughts on this? I’m sorry to have posted such a topic as I genuinely would hate to believe somebody could lie about this but my brother puts a lot of pressure on himself and guilt constantly and I’m worried about his mental health.
