The CAA medical branch provide a guide to the report required from a specialist, it is headed:

'Details to request from a consultant oncologist when considering a licence holder's fitness to return to flying/controlling following treatment for malignant disease' Phew!!

There is a list of 15 points to be covered from history through to prognosis and, having seen the letter written by my oncologist all the points were covered in a positive manner. It is ironic that I flew with a class 2 medical for at least a year and possibly 2 WITH cancer (but not diagnosed) but now that I'm diagnosed free of cancer I cannot obtain a medical. I'm even going to be scanned for any recurrence over the next few years, so a 'return of the matastases' should be picked up long before any symptoms show.
