Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Expert: Childhood chemotherapy and radiation -- while often life saving and without other options (especially years ago) -- can lead to later complications. If you have pain, then a differential diagnosis (ddx) for pain needs to be established. May want to be seen at a "pediatric" survivorship clinic for adults with expertise in this area.
