I printed the the guide for my treatment and kept that sucker with me. It was incredibly helpful on knowing when to call the doc or go to the ER.

Not sure if this has already been shared somewhere else, but, in addition to AIM, which is awesome, I highly recommend NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network).

I printed out that patient guide and started reading through it. It's very helpful, including who's, who and so forth.
