    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. :)

  • CountryFordGirl26:

    I love this video:) I really want to be a prediatric oncology nurse practicioner. And I really like how you said that it’s not about the money but about making a difference:) That is so true to me.

    Thanks!

    @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.

  • 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.

  • kails88:

    No problem! :)
    I’m glad you found it useful :)
    Good luck with all of your endeavors!

    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.

  • SaveTheChildren87:

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

  • kails88:

    Most likely in your thirtees/late twenties depending on your college and when you start college :)

  • allpeople123:

  • allpeople123:

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

  • kails88:

    THank you for helping me out :)

  • 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.

  • SaveTheChildren87:

    oh okay thanks! :)

  • 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:

    Great video, im 13 and have wanted to be a pediatric oncologist since last year. I know it’s work but im going for it! Thanks for making this video. By the way how did you do the beginning of it?

  • 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 )
    THanksss again :)

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

  • 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:
