My point was if the illness you had doesn't prevent you from working anymore then it shouldn't matter what you tell them you took 18 months off for, it's none of their business. So telling them a 'lie' about taking care of someone sick was an acceptable way to explain why you didn't work for 18 months without having to give up private health information not valid to the job.

Your mis reading this in a lot of ways.
You have to make a decision on what your comfortable with. All you really have to say is that you took a hiatus from the workflow.
However I will warn you of this, that 18 months will become a laser beam focus attention size to anyone that interviews you, because an 18 month hole is massive, and because its so massive you can expect that a perspective employer will drill into that and learn as much as they can about that break.
Just be prepared for that.
