Until you have a confirmed diagnosis, try your very best to stay busy. It will help pass the time and make the unbearable waiting slightly easier. If the biopsy is being done next week it could be another week until the final results are in. Us OC patients and caregivers get pretty good at waiting (impatiently).
One thing you can do now is to focus on what your husband eats. If it is OC, his sense of eating and ability to swallow will be compromised for a while so start having him eat all his favorite foods. Now the good part, dont worry about your husband gaining weight.
Hang in there!
