Please answer! what kind of doctor would you see if you had cancer as a kid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For you?: If you had cancer as a kid and are still in remission, it's safe to say you are very likely cured so see your family doc or internist yearly and if he/she thinks you need an oncologist, you can be refered. Remember that you can have other cancers and depending on the situation, the risk may be higher than normal.
