Cancer and the class 1 medical
I am a controller at a UK airport suffering right now from Lymphoma (Hodgkins Disease) . Im just interested to see if there is anybody, flight crew or controllers who might have had cancer and went into remission with the good fortune of returning to their previous jobs . I am coming to the end of a 15 month spell of treatment involving chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant and I am rather anxious to hear about peoples dealings with the CAA medical Branch in getting their Class 1 medicals reinstated . I know from speaking to medical branch there have been a few controllers /aircrew who have had Cancer (specifically Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins) and they told me that 95% of these people tend to return to work after CAA testing .
I look forward to hearing from anybody who has had dealings of this nature .
Thanks
