Having cancer is not grounds for denial of a visa nor does not mean you have failed a medical exam.

The medical focuses on conditions that affect the public health at large - infectious diseases and also severe mental health issues. Having cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, being disabled, having had a transplant, being seriously overweight are not grounds for denial. The medical is to keep diseases like TB and STDs out of the country as much as possible and also to protect the public from the effects of someone with severe mental health issues that could cause them to harm people.

Cancer is not a condition that would preclude you from getting a visa. I am a four-time cancer survivor and know what you are facing. I wish you all the best with managing your cancer. You'll find more information here:

Hello!

Cancer is not considered an inadmissible disease for the K1 Visa process. 

You will be good, then.
