I know this sounds awful but she does have a track record for lying about some really terrible things.
Last year she took time off work - she told everyone she had a cancerous lump that was being removed. Although she told us what hospital she was going to be in - she refused to let anyone visit her. However a couple of freinds decided to visit and the hospital had no record of her. To cut a very long story short it appeared that she did not have cancer and was disciplined at work for taking two weeks off plus subsequent appointemtns for chemo. I never really discussed this with her as I have been really worried about her mental health generally and did not think she would be able to handle the confrontation. I did ask our boss to disucss councilling with her - but I dont know what the result of this was.
Does anyone have any experience of this? At the moment I feel emotionally drained by this and I am not sure how to help her.
