Specialist: Keep your primary care in the loop but a heme/onc doc should be involved with leukemia.

Specialist: You need to see a hematologist or oncologist who regularly treats leukemia. This is not a diagnosis your primary care doctor will treat.

See below...: If you have a confirmed diagnosis of leukemia, a specialist, namely a hematologist/oncologist, should coordinate and manage your treatment.
