Just to add a point to what Amy said about having someone in your family tracking things -- depending on whose plan you end up on, it can also be helpful if there's someone in the company HR department who can also go to bat for you. While I was going through treatment, I was fortunate to have someone in our HR/benefits group who was well aware of my situation and was handling many of the insurance "push-back" issues without dragging me into it on a daily basis.
