My grandsone was dionosed with cancer when he was 16, he went to Johnson city childrens hospital..we need his records so he can be checked again he will be 21 in May,,,no one seems to know where they are, He also went to Pittsburg, Pa childrens hospital...How can I get his records so he can see if he is still in remission?
Dear bumblebee, You can see your primary physician who referred you to Johnson Hospital. If you don't find the record with him, you could give the tentative date of your visit to Johnson hospital Medical records section who could find your grandsons record. If this does not help you the health authority who maintain the National cancer register, visit them and telling them the tentative date of of completion of your grandsons' treatment they might be able to give you the records. As regards whether your grandson is in remission you can visit your primary physician and apprise him the history of your grandson, he will perform necessary investigations on your grandson and let you know his present status. Hope the steps advised might help you in achieving your mission. Truly,
