Hi there teefly!

I am just curious about how strict QR is when it comes to health of their crew. You see, I used to have papillary carcinoma, thyroid cancer, 3 years ago but I underwent thyroidectomy and had every single cancer cell burned through radiation. Now I am cancer-free. I asked because I learned about pilots who had the same fate as mine but are now back to flying. Reading back on this forum, I heard about someone who did not make it there because of the daily hormone medication she takes due to a thyroid deficiency. My concern now is, I would like to know if they give consideration to people who used to have the big C but are now very, very healthy to fly. I've long been meaning to become a crew and I may be thinking too much ahead of time but I'd just like to know about my chances of completely making it there upon passing all the hiring procedures.

Thank you so much in advance for whatever response you can extend to me. Take care!
