Of course you would get replies! We usually are pretty quick with responding, normally in less than 8 hours new posts get replies. Thats what were here for... to help each other. One thing you will quickly notice is how much everyone is bonded. We are all in this together! We have been thru some significant hardships ourselves so we understand how scary it can be, especially with recently diagnosed patients. It takes a group of very special people who fully understand what an OC diagnosis means not only to patients and their caregivers but to the patients entire family.
