I have a friend who is a perpetual liar and constantly tries to outdo or match my experiences, even when she previously denied them. Is there a mental disorder that makes her this way, and what medications could help her? Additionally, what's wrong with me that I can't tolerate her behavior, given that I have bipolar mixed disorder with PTSD and major depression, and how should I handle this situation?

I had breast cancer last winter that was stage 1a, very small at 2.5mm, and underwent surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy. My recent mammogram was benign, and I see an oncologist regularly. My ALP is high at 157, possibly due to bone loss from medication, and my GGT is high at 111, with normal liver enzymes. I had a sentinel node biopsy with isolated tumor cells found in one node, but I was told my nodes were node negative. My recent abdominal ultrasound was negative for liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas. I'm concerned about the high GGT and want to know what to do next to determine the cause.

My husband has high bilirubin levels and a history of liver abscesses due to Klebsiella pneumoniae. His eyes are yellowish, and his bilirubin levels have been fluctuating. What could be causing this, and what steps should we take to monitor and potentially address the issue?

For many years, I have experienced difficulty swallowing food, especially small pieces of fruit or meat that are not chewed enough, which sometimes prevents water from being consumed. I often treat it by swallowing repeatedly and drinking small sips of water, but I have also gone to the emergency room where they used a flexible rod to open the esophagus. Today, I had a hard time with small chunks of pineapple. What could be causing this issue and what can I do to address it?
