Thank you for your responses. i believe after reading them, I do now have the truth confirmed, which is both anger inspiring and yet sad at the same time.

I am trying not to say anything, however, it is hard not to think the worst. Thinking about it, it seems she likes playing a "victim" of life, not only in illness but other things.
I know she is really the only one who can answer, however, I also know she will never confirm or deny.
Hence, I thought I would throw out the question(s)

I keep wondering.
For example, I read people's accounts of radiation and chemo. It appears to be longer than 30 - 45 minutes, yet the maximum time it ever took for her was 60 minutes. That includes walking into the hospital and out again (i wasn't allowed to go in with her or pick her up inside the building). hence, there are doubts there. Plus, she asked for $3500 to pay for treatment. I said yes, however, I needed the bill to pay electronically, as well as have a record. She refused, asking for cash only. I didn't pay (and felt very low at the time). I have since found out that the hospital very rarely charges unless it is for a new experimental medicine. Which in turn brings me to another query. Do you need to take medicines at home? i ask this, as she never required any medication at home ( bar 1 or 2 headache tablets). Me being trusting still had doubts as I thought there would need to be medication taken at least daily, not just a once a week treatment.

Hi all;
I'm here to try and get answers and perhaps support.
My (ex) partner, who is 36, advised me nearly nine years ago that she had breast cancer while pregnant with our son. She chose to get treatment after his birth, which I respected.
I now have several issues. I drove her to the hospital regularly for treatment, which seem to last 30 to 40 minutes maximum. I was never allowed to go with her as support. She told me she had radiation and chemo treatment.
After the "all clear", a few years later she had a relapse. See above re my support. after this, she fell pregnant with our daughter who is now two.
My confusion? Comes down to: Sterility issues, the effects on the body, etc. Can I also add, she told various people that she had a double mastectomy (not true) and also wore a wig when she went out (not with me) due to hair loss (of which there was none).
Can anyone tell me are the symptoms and pregnancy chances and illness treatments right? Or, have I, as well as others, been sucked right in?
