I would ask a careers advisor or social worker at your school they should be the best people to ask if they are available. I have no Idea what you need to study or the bst schools to attend.I spent more time talking then working at school, but I hope you reach your goals. My daughter was diagnosed last Oct with Leukaemia she was 6 at the time. She is in remission now too. I think it would take a very special person to undertake such a job but having gone through it yourself atleast you have an insite to what it feels like. Never give up on your dreams and keep cancer free.

Take as many science courses as you can, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Psycology, Physics. You might also consider interviewing a few local oncolgists to find out what they studied, and what got them interested in the field.
If your grades are really good, you scored high on the SATs... I would apply to all the big schools Harvard, Stanford, Yales, UCLA, USC, etc...all have excellent pre-med/medical programs.
