Hi Deb and welcome to the OCF forum. Everyone here is so helpful and the shared wisdom and experience will help you to help Bob. While he may not be ready to explore what he is about to experience I'm so glad you are here learning about the illness and preparing yourself for treatments. Both the patients and caregivers here will walk with you through the next few weeks and months. Feel free to ask any question, fuss, cry, whatever.

Bless you

Dodie
