For spousal you can (but don't have to) apply as soon as you are married, no six month wait.

He sponsors you, you give him your forms and they get sent to CPC Mississauga, who will check if he can sponsor you. If yes, the documents will be sent for processing to London UK.

Your medical condition is not likely to be an issue, but you will need a medical like everyone else.

Family class application info is here:

If you are getting married in Canada you will need your UK birth certificate and your decree absolute.
