I'm very grateful that my MO became my primary care doctor 16 years ago and has continued on ever since. While he has had to refer me to various other specialists for non-cancer related conditions, he's always good about following up to be sure he gets their reports and recommendations. Case in point: last week one of his nurses called me about a recent bone density test to try to find out how much daily calcium I was getting and whether I needed more supplements. (He also took care of my poison ivy a few years back -- I told him I was sent that day to give him some comic relief!)

It's really important to find a physician (whether at a CCC or not) that can grasp the whole picture and keep a comprehensive record of your post-cancer medical issues.
