Woohoo!! Well done @emstar!! You are now in control of it all xx It CAN be a tad confronting at times, but the podcasts will cover most issues that you raise.
Write down any specific questions you may have ahead of seeing your surgeon (and others) ... maybe even give them a copy too, for you to tick off, as they cover them, as it can be easy to miss reading them off (hard to explain, but it happens!)
Also consider recording all your appointments now & with the Oncs in the future as you go thru your 'active treatment' - as it really is hard to remember EVERYTHING that is said at the time (specially if you are taking notes of what they've just said & miss the next bit!)
Also take a trusted friend/relative/partner with you, both for support and as a 2nd set of ears .... you'll be surprised to learn that you'll both 'hear' different things too! ;)
take care & all the best xx
