    Take breast cancer, and men, as just one small example. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes. Given that every man has a mom, over 50% of all men get married at least once, and another 50% or so have either a daughter or sister, that means nearly 25% of ALL men will have a mom, wife, sister, or daughter diagnosed in their lifetime. One in four. And thats just counting the men in a breast cancer patients lifenot her mom, sisters, or daughters.

    How many more caregivers, then, are out there today with loved ones diagnosed with other cancers, heart disease, respiratory illnesses, kidney disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, etc? Millions.

    John Anderson in his speech serves as an invaluable guide for all those caregivers out there on how best to help their loved ones through their own personal journeys.

    Millions strong, willing to work for free, 24 hours, 7 days a week, the newly-minted Medical Support Army of Caregivers is being activated one person at a time thanks to one very important thingdoctors ordersgiven directly to the caregiver to act in the best interests of their loved ones, the patient.

    The American College of Physicians, the leading association for internal medicine doctors, recently issued a position paper that states doctors should work directly with caregivers in treating patients.
