Welcome to the forum. Even though it is not your club of choice, it is a very good idea to get as knowledgable as possible. Your best bet to start with, is to go back through the forum and pull up topics that sound familiar or interesting to you and read up on what other here have had to say.
And remember, be an active participant in your treatment. Keep a journal of physical and mental symptoms to take with you to your doctors appointments. Always make a list of questions to ask the doctor, if you don't have a list, ask him what you should be asking about. If you have a good doctor he or she will be happy to discuss things with you or give you some reading.
Good luck
