Blood disorders & immunity problems.

OK, so it is not HIV, but I had Leukaemia in 2008.

Fortunately, my clinical course was very smooth. I was, and am still, treated with an oral daily targetted therapy that controls the illness.

I am in complete molecular remission.

However, I had absolutley no problem getting my UK Class 1 back at all. I do have an "as and with a qualified co-pilot" restriction, so no single pilot paid stuff. However an A320 needs 2 pilots, so no problem.

I would suggest taking your case to the CAA and asking.

They are quite enligtened now. As for reduced/compromised immunity: I certainly have a slightly reduced immune system. The CAA have no problem with it. They just ask for regular Haematology reports.
