Hello everyone,
I'm just putting this out there in case anyone can relate/has any suggestions.
My parents got their medical request a few days ago, Dad has been getting treatment for lymphoma in the Philippines where he is a resident and he is towards the end of his treatment but the chemo drug is going to stay in his body for at least 6 months.
Is this going to affect the medical? Even if he gets a clearance from his doctors, would this affect it?
I've been losing sleep on this but just curious if anyone has experienced the same or maybe knows something about this.
Any tips or advice will be appreciated, thanks!
Panel doctors will not have discretion on decision. Medical Officer does. If your dad goes in remission, I think it should be ok. If not, not sure.
I heard from a lawyer, depends on stages of cancer. If it is terminal, the decision might be different. Each case is treated unique and there is no one size fits all.
I think at this point there is nothing in your power to control. As much as I know it is hard, just breathe. I am in the same boat.
I am worried about my mom's medicals too. Not cancer, but disability.
I hope your dad recovers soon. Sorry to hear that!
