This started with a benign tumor found in her breast...this is how Munchhausen By Proxy starts with Moms and Dads and caregivers of children..not much difference here, just that she faked her own sickness. This is one of the reasons why we have to be careful on punishment...does she need to be incarcerated or does she need to be put into a mental health facility?
Nevermind acting outrageous just to go to Disney, how about acting outrageous in general in the first place? Why would anyone fake something so serious like having cancer. I'm sorry but I am absolutely disgusted that someone would actually think about faking having cancer. That is just plain sad.
What do these people think - their lies won't catch up to them?

1) Next, people will start to use ANY excuse for a freebie.
2) Wait, do I qualify?
. . . incureable baldness
. . . recurring ingrown toenail
. . . unable to regain youth, or even middle age
Yes, I know it's not Munchhausen By Proxy, I was using it as a reference for people to realize that this woman IS ill, just not with cancer.?
I think that's the mistake.
Giving her sympathy and excusing her behavior saying "she's ill".
No she's not. She's selfish and has little concern for others...untill she get's caught. Then she's sorry.
It's like saying someone has a disease because they are smoker or alcoholic.
Nope. Sorry, that's an excuse after the fact.
You choose to try it and continue doing it. It might be tought to quit but you still make the choice.
NOBODY chooses to try cancer or any other real disease.
Sure you can get a doctor to say it is but then again you can get lawyer to say it's someone elses fault you tripped over your own feet.
She choose to fake it, she choose to go out of her way to join groups to make them believe. She choose to accept donations all while KNOWNING she was lying.
She's not sick...She's just wrong.
I am sorry to disagree, but I do.She is sick...Mental illness is SICK..Normal ,mentally well balanced people do NOT lie about having deadly diseases.Does it excuse her behavior? No.Is her behavior abominable? YES..No one is excusing her behavior..But the things you mentioned are real illnesses( addiction is an illness with actual chemical changes in the brain) and to say they aren't is not really fairI think that's the mistake.
