The Endocrinologist I see is a specialist in thyroid cancer and other thyroid diseases
I am now 1 year out from papillary and follicular thyroid cancers
I was told that unless things start to go very bad that I will not need to see an oncologist
I would ask your endocrinologist next time you visit.

I have not seen an endocrinologist either. My doctor is an Otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) and have not seen anyone else yet. Should I look for an endo? -

Oh yes, I would highly recommend it. Or, an Oncologist that specializes in Endocrine cancer.

Yes I would definately look for an endo, just make sure they specialize with thyroid cancer as someone pointed out to me that they deal with so many different kinds of cancers, it may be hard to find one that knows alot specifically about thyroid cancer. Good luck and keep us posted as I am learning alot from others posts.
