Maya,

Welcome to the OCF website. Sorry to hear about your Dx of cancer but this is the site to spend your time on. As far as your questions, the best way is to just start asking.

You also need to give us as much info about your Dx, where you will be treated and what treatment (Tx) they have mentioned. Most of us edit our Signature Line in our Profile so that it posts everytime we ask or answer a post. See mine as an example.
