  • Hello Tracy

    I'm sorry to hear about your husband's diagnosis. Undoubtedly it will have been a difficult time for you both and it's understandable that he's struggling with things. 

    I'm going to suggest that you post on this thread which is one that is very active with folks who have had or are caring for someone with OC. I'm sure you will connect with others there if you post a message. I am also going to tag in [@Hilts]‍ who is one of our very active members. Like you, her husband was diagnosed with OC and they are now through the treatment so I'm sure that she will reply to say Hello when she's able to. 

    If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses at any point you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support that they can. 

    Keep in touch Tracy. Let us know how you're both doing. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
