I have a cousin who is 22 years old who I think is lying about having cancer. I know this may sound like an unbelievable statement and trust me just the fact that i'm writing this is unnerving. It all started a month ago when I was informed that she found out she had ovarian cancer and that she was going through chemo for two weeks before she told anyone, even her parents. She said she was protecting them. It was stage 1 they did no surgery or anything just started chemo- the whole family obviously upset was optimistic then a week later we were all told by her that they did another scan and found it had spread to her uterus, then her colon then her stomach then her liver all in a matter of two weeks, from a month of her finding out she had went from stage 1 to terminal, and she said the doctors said we would be lucky to have her through the summer. They then stopped chemo. She never let anyone go to the doctors with her-noone, she drove to her chemo treatments, last week she said that she went back to the doctor they did another scan(which would have been the fifth one in a month) and that the cancer in the uterus and ovaries was gone but there was 50% still in her liver and just today she said that her lungs were full of fluid so she went to the doctor today and they drained them and she was home within an hour. I guess I was hoping someone who had experience could help me , is this possible???? She says she is protecting her parents that is why she doesn't want them to go with her.
