Wishing you all the best for your appointment today, Russell. I hope your consultant will be able to reassure you as to what steps they suggest be taken first, and that your treatment progresses uneventfully.
Most areas have a support group I think, where you can get together with others in the same boat as you are and find out a bit about their experiences to help settle things in your mind, so do ask about that if you think it will help you.
Another thing I have done since nearly the beginning is to take a small voice recorder in with me so I can get a record of what was said to listen to afterwards and sort out just what was suggested and planned, as I never seem to remember everything.
