second, welcome to the forum.
We are at the stage of waiting for our visa to be issued, we have the medicals completed and finalised,
5 years ago my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and we were concerned that it might get in the way of the medicals, when we asked the visa bureau our agents they told us that once you have been given the all clear you have as much chance of getting cancer as the next person so it will not get in the way of your medicals but you will have to submit doctors notes from your case along with the meds
hope this helps

Hiya Weelee,
Thank you for your reply. I'm glad that our wife's ok now. I was getting concerned as when I spoke to the Migration Agent he wasn't too sure what the chances were and did say that the Aus Health Dept will make the final decision and that all I needed to do was submitt all the reports. I am in "remission", not too sure what that actually means but when I spoke to the Macmillan Nurse she said that I had Cancer and now it's gone. But I will need to have Radiotherapy, medicine and yearly follow-ups for 5 yrs as a preventative for the future. I spoke with the Meds Panel Doc's Secreatary who advised that my x-ray was clear as was my bloods and that I didn't need further examination but to submitt the reports and that they will then send them off and it'll be a case of waiting...... fingers X'd.
Where in OZ are you going? We'll be based in QLD.
