Before I started public system chemo I met with the oncologist who sort of explained quite a lot but then I also had an appointment with one of the head chemo nurses who sat me down, told me do's and don't of things and took me on a tour of where it would be done. That together with chemo side affect remedies on some of these bnca posts really helped a lot. I didn't have to go to work and was able to stay in bed a day or two (sort of like flu) but then gradually things would get better. The neuropathy thing is one of the important side affects to report to your oncologist if it happens. I kept a list of the zany side effects I had and listed them like day one, day two and the oncologist really appreciated it.
I was one of the shocking chemo brain casualties but 4 years later, cannabis oil has almost completely healed my brain and most of my numbness on feet is almost gone as well. Don't be frightened to report any depression to your oncologist or gp doctor either even after all treatment is done which is when it stuck up on some of us by surprise. They can help with such things too! All the best. <3
