You asked:
[quote]Side question -- does it annoy those of you who have cancer when us caregivers use words like "we" have appointments? I feel like this is all happening to me, too.[/quote]

My answer is NO, of course not. My wife came with me to all my appointments and my cancer affected her too. I can't speak for all cancer patients, and perhaps there are some patients whose better self is temporarily overwhelmed by cancer and who would take umbrage at a caregiver using inclusive language, but I don't think you will find any here at OCF.
