@CountryFordGirl26

Aww! I'm really glad I could help you! That's great!  I agree, helping people is the most important aspect of Pediatric Oncology for me. I think Making a difference is the most important aspect of any job- or just life in general. :)

Thanks for the video and information. I'm a senior in high school planning on going to school to become a pediatric oncologist. I've been trying to get all the research I can, and your video really has made me put it into deep consideration. Thank you.

Good luck with all of your endeavors!

[kails88]

That's awesome :)

The begining is from a video that I sited at the end ( Im not THAT talented) :)

With a voice over (That's me talking!) :D

Thankkkssssss :D:D

[SaveTheChildren87]

oh okay thanks! :)

[allpeople123]

i have a question since i am really scared of blood do you have to take blood testing on the kids and do you do surgery

[kails88]

It all depends. Generally speaking, you are going to have to work with blood at one point or another in this career..but concider this: Your only fourteen...by the time you actually become a pediatric oncologist, your fear of blood could be lost :)

I hope that helps...I'll do my research :)

Thanks for the question :)

[allpeople123]

ok thanks and i will always ask for help hope we can keep in touch when i get older

[kails88]

@allpeople123

Hey, I noticed it's been a while,how's that fear of blood lol? :)

[kails88]

okay...

A "Surgical" oncologist-

Deals with surgeries, such as removing tumors...

from what i can tell, a regular or "Pediatric" oncologist deals with blood work (like IV's, Needles, ect.)

(see 1:12)

Thankss again! I think you will be able to do it :)

THanksss again :)

[SaveTheChildren87]

i'm almost positive that a pediatric oncologist deals with cancer in kids hemotologist-oncologist deals with the blood work (like leukemia) and they can work with tumors. Most oncologist have a hemotology and oncology degree. Atleast thats what I can get from my research.

[kails88]

THank you for helping me out :)

[SaveTheChildren87]

No problem, I'm taking career orientation this semester at school so haha yeah stuff gets stuck in my head. :)

[bcell0492]

@SaveTheChildren87 Yes that is correct, a hematologist oncologist works with the blood cancers such as ALL, Non-hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins, and depending on the hospital may also work with Sickle Cell patients along with aids. The reasoning for that is children with either of those diseases are at a higher chance of being diagnosed with cancer of the blood. You were also correct by saying that they can treat children with solid tumors but they usually don't due to the number of patients.

[bcell0492]

@allpeople123 When you are training to be a Oncologist you will be working with blood quite a bit. You will have to learn how to do Bone Marrow aspirations which is retrieving blood from the bone. But when you become an actual doctor you wont start IV's, give shots, draw blood, or anything of that sort. All of that is done by the nurses.

[allpeople123]

this was really touching i really want to become a pediatric Oncologist now for sure and see the happy smiles on kids faces thank you so much and god bless you for the kids you have saved

14 year old girl ready to pursue this
