I found out what to expect, when to expect it, how to prepare, what to do if this, that or the other came up (and boy, did they!) and much that wasn't explained by the doctors nearly as well as those on the front line.
Indeed, all very important, but I found differences in exactly the things you listed here, that would make it confusing if you are already finding the process rough. Those on the frontline are definitely the best to explain, but in small matters like 'who should I see if I have a radiotherapy burn?' there were differences between the states and the UK.
