Please skip to final paragraph *** for the short version of this !! Apologies if the sensitive medical issue and unusualness of this post offends or upsets anyone.
A bit of an unusual thread. Wondering if this time my Mum’s cancer scare is genuine.
My Mum is turning 64 and has a history of exatturating and lying. This is mainly done be being vague and getting angry when asked about anything she feels uncomfortable about.
In the past she has lied about cancer while going for routine tests or checks and told us she has cancer when they’re in the very early stages of tests for general issues which turn out to be all fine.
I’ve only noticed the extent of her lying as time has gone on. I think sometimes she twists stories and genuinely doesn’t realise she’s being obtuse, vague or reframing and twisting the story - leaving out crucial pieces of information.

My Mother has said that her GP found a breast lump. She said that the lump was examined by the GP who said it was 8cm and there was signs of dimpling, orange peeling, veins and it is in the arm pit breast area. She said this had been “fast tracked” for a mammogram and aspiration this week. She is now saying it’s actually next week (so 2 weeks after appointment).
Basically, my question is, does this sound genuine given her history of exatturating and lying even about cancer scares ?
