Sara, I've been on both sides of the fence now, both as cancer patient and caregiver to someone with cancer, and it ain't no picnic no matter what side of the fence you're on. Garegiver's just as hard as patient, if not almost more so.

Don't feel guilty, and remember to schedule some "me" time. You would be surprised how one night a week out with the girls, one afternoon a week just doing what you want to do can recharge the batteries.
