Medical admissibility for parents

[supervisa099]

Hi Everyone,

I applied for my parents sponsorship for PR in 2019. I have a question about the medical admissibility, as I'm worried about it a bit..

My mom was diagnosed with early Stage 1 break cancer about 2 years ago. Ever since she has had the tumor removed, received chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and has been disease free. She now just takes a tablet, which is used to reduce the risk of cancer from coming back. And as of now, she is cancer-free, and there is no evidence of disease. This was all mentioned on the application.

Given all this, should I be worried about the medical admissibility criterion?

Thank you very much for the responses.

Glad to hear your mother is doing well.

It's hard to say based on the information you've provided. I think it will depend on what kind of cancer it is and if that type of cancer generally has a high chance of returning (hopefully it doesn't). It's good news that she is healthy now. I also think it's good that she only had stage 1 and it was caught early.

I think all you can do at this point is go through the medical process and hope for the best. There have certainly been cases here where parents were approved with a past history of cancer.

@scylla Thank you so much for the response! I had a typo.. it was breast cancer. And based on the tests they had done, it was very responsive to treatment.. and hence I guess unlikely to come back.
Like you said, all we can do is go through the medicals and hope for the best!
Thank you so much again!

Assume she may be taking something like tamixiphen which would be considered treatment to heopefully prevent camcer from returning.

@canuck78 Yes, that is correct. What would be your "gut feel" for such a case..? Back then when they did the tests, they found that the likelihood of her tumor responding to this drug was high.. and hence I guess the likelihood of it returning low.

Thank you!
