Hate to ask these questions

Hi hoping someone can help, i know someone who i sadly think has lied about a cancer scare, she has had us all worried for 3 weeks that she may have had breast cancer, she had a mammogram yesterday said she got the results straight away and said that its  just a cysts and they have drained it at her app yesterday, i hope i am over thinking things but is that how the process works? Would the results  be given straight away and the cyst drained right there and then? Sorry for these awful questions but i am concerned for her mental health if she has lied about something so serious 

Thank you

    Hi there ..

    Well I'm not medically qualified,  but I have had 5 call backs all together ...  and a couple of those were a one stop shop .. mamorgramme/ scan / biopsy  then result .. and a couple of those were Simerla to that lass .. I didn't need one drained, but I've heard of a few lasses getting it drained ... 

    What is that lass like ... I'd like to think you give her the benifit of the dout .. because most people that lve heard of lying , take it much further then that .. saying they were getting treatment for cancer, and carrying it on longer ..  does she normally lie ... because hopefully she is telling the truth .. and if she did fib a bit, as bad as you think that is, she may be just wanting to feel cared for and a little attention .. 

    If she did this often, then yes it could be her mental health .. but poor lass .. like the song .. "try a little kindness" first .. she may just want a friend either way ... Chrissie x
