Get anything in writing that you can. My oncologist gave me details of treatments on individual sheets - invaluable for reading over when the dust settles a bit. Ask how long treatments will take, it's useful to know if you need an hour or half a day. All of this is easier if you have someone with you so you can compare notes after. Remember that possible side effects don't necessarily all happen! Unfortunately you usually have to start treatment to really know how you will go. If you will be driving to appointments, ask what parking provisions are available. It's worth taking something to drink and a snack to first treatments, you'll find out then what is normally offered (we were always offered tea or coffee and a sandwich at my day oncology). Very best wishes.
