Caring for me Member since June 25, 2010I am 75, I took care of my mother who died in 2002. She lived with me and my husband. He died ofcancer ,so I was left alone to care for mom.She died of alzheimers at age 86. Three weeks after she passed away I found I had breast cancer and had my left breast removed. I now live with my son and his wife,who are very loving and caring. It has been seven years since I had cancer and has not returned.Thank God. My greatest fear is that I will get Alzheimer's. Every time I forget something even for a moment I feel panic inside. My Dr. said I could begin taking aricept if I want to help prevent it in case it would happen. I watched my mom go through it and I took care of her to the end. I don't want to put my children through that. It is a heart breaking ordeal to watch. I thank God I was able to care for her, she was a wonderful person.
