Is my friend lying about having cancer?!

Is my friend lying about having cancer?

My really good friend told me that she has cancer. Of course I was shocked because she hasn't been to the doctor since we have been close friends for about a year and this is the first I have heard anything about it. I have known her for almost three years now. So I asked her how she knew she had cancer. She then showed me a lump on her quadricep which felt like a fatty mass. Then on her lower left hand side of her back which was like a little ball. She also had a little lump on her chest that felt like a swollen lymph node to me. She then told me that she was diagnosed with cancer about five years ago and has not gotten treatment. She says she doesn't want to go through the treatment because she would get sick. Does this make sense? I don't want to be cynical but I'm having a hard time. What do you think?

If this young lady don't have a reputation of lying you can only believe this until it's proven not to be true. I would suggest to her that even thou she don't wont treatment she should still go to the doctor and find out what stage the cancer is in, or if it has went into remission and offer to go with her. If she refuses I would still be her friend and not say anything else to her about it. time will tell.
