@Jazz26 your Oncologist should give you a sheet for each of your drugs and their side effects.
if they haven't you can download one from the Internet. I used eviQ cancer treatments online fact sheets. I had FEC, but you may be having AC. It will give you excellent information. Another great website is chemocare.com, you can research the individual drugs there and I found the way they set out the side effects, with how common they were, most helpful.
Regarding support groups, I know some are better than others, but I have attended many in my area, and no one cares what sort of couple you are, if you have cancer or are supporting someone who has, you are welcomed into the group with warmth and compassion. I hope you find one you are comfortable with, because for me they made all the difference struggling through everything that came with the treatment.
If you happen to live on Central Coast NSW I can certainly help with who to contact.
