Brenda...
my father went into the hospital for the last time 10/04 (I was having panic attacks and "literally" was on my way for a counseling appointment when I got the call that he was back in the hospital)...I was his caregiver and he lived 100 miles away (ALSO, single mother to then 3 yo son and full time employee). The day after I put my dad in the nursing home, 1/05, (his doctors wouldn't let me take him home) I had my mammogram and my fun began. I think it has a "part" in the whole process and I see MANY caregivers getting cancer.
