# 011 - Dr. May Carter, a pediatrician, explains the role of the pediatrician following a pediatric cancer diagnosis and after remission. She discusses the sensitivity pediatricians have during treatment for kids with cancer inside and outside of the doctor's office. Additionally, Dr. May Carter expands on how pediatricians take care of their patients (survivors) following chemotherapy, radiation, or other types of treatment that lead to remission and beyond. Due to the sensitivities and possibilities of reoccurring cancers or relapse in children exposed to the world of oncology, they are treated slightly different when a seemingly simple issue might arise.
