Your application would be rejected if:
you suffer chronic blood disease, such as sickle cell disease, congenital spherocytosis, thalassaemia, HIV, AIDS, you carry hepatitis B or C, or you have had leukaemia or malignant lymphoma;

Hey guys. Im a 22 year old student and have been undergoing treatment for leukemia for the past 2 n half years. It clearly says on the RAF website that if you have had leukemia then my application would be rejected. However, I went into my local RAF careers office and they explained that once I had finished treatment (in 8 months), and im out of treatment for 2 years then I would be able to apply. I have some slight concerns over this. I really do not want to wait 2 years to apply to the airforce and then get told that I'm unable to join. Can anyone offer any advice or does anybody know anyone who has had such a condition like leukemia in the past, where there application has been accepted.

Replies greatly appreciated.
