I hear ya’, Shimmer1. Unfortunately, this type of thing seems to be very common.
I’ve known people like this. One person I knew was over the top about it. (Munchausen’s, maybe?) Once I caught on, I started to distance myself from this person... And then I was the one who got sick. For real. And I never heard from that person again. lol
Later I found out that all the “medicines” that person was claiming to have to take were actually over-the-counter vitamins.
I’ve heard other survivors complain about coworkers they know are lying. One woman said her coworker told their boss that her doctor called for her to go in for “emergency chemo,” so she had to leave early that day. The woman said she could tell her coworker was lying, but what could she say?
Her lying about it, just so she can sell her ideas is very maddening.
I'm so angry about it that I'm probably irrational about it.

Oh.My.word. emergency chemo. (banging head on desk) I tend to underreport, because things have just been so darn horrible, who wants to hear all that, all the time?????
Getting better now though, finally. It’s only taken 7 months!!!!! (four and a half months of chemo)
