Hi @raja I have just responded to your other post.
Personally I would say this 15 days will give you the opportunity to write down all your fears, questions, symptoms and practicalities to ask at your next appointment.
I have learnt to be pleasantly assertive and ask for responses to be in easy to understand language. No questions are silly questions.
It can help to have someone with you to take notes etc.
Please do let us know how you get on, you are doing brilliantly so just take care of yourself
