AP's LAURAN NEERGAARD - - New York Newsday
| The nation's 10 million cancer survivors require customized follow-up for years that too few now receive, says a major study that calls for oncologists to create a "survivorship plan" to guide every patient's future health care.

One wonders what happend to those highly dedicatd to serve the patients with health concerns?
After some 30 years of rewarding practice I feel that my goal has not changed since I entered a medical school "to serve my patients by helping them in alleviating pain and suferring and restoring them to normal functioning". I am surprised that cancer survivors do not get care they need. Perhaps we need be reminded by "Dr. heal thyself" as someone once said.
