I didnt read all your story, but if you dont trust your friend to be straight up with you, then its not a friendship.either way. If your friend knew of the meticulous records you keep about her, I doubt she would continue the friendship. Kim
Thank you for your reply. I just wanted to add that I don't keep records about her. At the time, I believed every word she said. It was recently when she lied about something, that I realised she had a history or lying. Fearing for my own sanity, I searched through the messages she sent me and realised that things don't quite add up. But then, at the same time, I don't know much about cancer anyway, so I couldn't be sure if she lied, if I was taken advantage of for my naivety, or if I really was developing a severe mental illness.
Could be its your friend that has an illness, some people make up lies to tell all the time, they cant help themselves and dig their selves deeper and deeper into fantasy land to cover up for the previous lie. I see you have edited your lenghty post with timeline of friends lies. If its not working out between you spend more time with other people. Life is too short to get dragged down by others complex behaviour. On a different note people with cancer can appear perfectly healthy, or really ill for a while followed by months of reasonable health. This can go on for years or it can end very suddenly, so there is no way you can know if your friends mother has cancer or not, but you could end this for once and for all by meeting her mother and just ask outright "Mrs. XYZ I'm sorry to hear you are suffering from cancer".
