@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.

@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.

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.
