Hello @melijord95 and welcome to Mayo Connect. It sounds as if your family is dealing with some unexpected health issues. I can understand your need for information and support.

While I do not have the specific type of cancer that your dad has, I do have a rare, hormone-related cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, so I do understand the need to have an endocrinologist as a quarterback. I have an endocrinologist as well.

Endocrinologists are amazing doctors who have a knowledge of the body systems and are a great addition to the rest of your dad's medical team. The endocrinologist that I see works well with my other specialists and she explains to me what is going on and how the various systems work together. This type of specialist will undoubtedly be an asset to you and your family.

How is your dad doing post-surgery?
