Find a goodInternist: With your past cancer history, you need to have a regular annual check up with a primary care doctor(in case you do not already do so). An internist would be the best. He/she can do annual screening for you and monitor your health and guide you as to how to take good care of your health as you do have some risk of adult cancers although it is difficult to make any predictions.
