Friends Daughter - Lymphomas Message Board

Lotus_Blossom · 06-09-2007, 06:29 PM

I have a Friend who's Adult Daughter had a Lump come up on side of her Face.She didn't have any other Symptom and wasn't sick.She didn't bother having it checked out for several Month's thinking it was an Infection and would somehow go away on it's own.When it didn't and she finally sought treatment they removed it.After removing it was an "it's not Cancer it is Cancer" matter.She started taking Rotuxin (sp) that made her ill,so refused to continue taking.She eventually moved back in the Area her Mother lives in order to take Treatment but didn't go to 1 single Treatment until recently (been back 3 Month's).I don't think the Girl has Cancer.If I'm wrong I apologize.I know her very well.She is a "drama Queen" that exaggerates and blows stuff way out there.She craves attention.If she had Cancer as bad as she claims she wouldn't be playing a suicide game,would go to the Doctor and take Treatments.Now she has told her Mother she will always have to take treatments even when the Cancer is in remission.I think the Doctor wanted her to take Treatment in case it WAS Cancer so they could catch it in time.

Hi there,

it sounds a lot to me like the boy crying wolf, after he had made up the story a couple of times, the villagers stopped believing him, one day he cried wolf for real, and no one came!!

It is difficult knowing when someone who appears to be always ill, is really genuinely ill or not.

it is probably worrying for her to, as you stated she thought it was an infection, and it wasn't.

May be you feel she is trying to bribe her mom in some way by making her feel worse by saying she will have to continue having treatment even after chemo

Just be there to support your friend, and the truth will come out. Lets hope that by delaying treatment it hasn't made things worse in the long run.

I wish you all the best.

fairy-lights,
Hi!I most definitely think something "fishy" is going on with my Friend's Daughter.She wasn't ill before the Lump came up and even after until she started taking Treatment for Cancer or no Cancer.If this Gal is BS'ing her Mother about having Cancer or never having remission will make me ill because there are millions of People in this World suffering from this cruel and painful Disease,and it would be disrespectful and extremely low of her.

Hey Lotus,

If she is B-sn' about cancer she is very sick inside and needs some real counseling. I would really be alarmed if anyone used that as an excuse for attention! Good Luck!

Hey Deb,
This Girl has many deep seated problems that have never been attended.I know her very well..well enough to know she will "stoop" to low levels in order to receive attention or obtain anything else she wants.If she will create problems for her Mother's Marriage to her Step-Father in order to have all of her Mother's attention she would do something like this.
