Was flying six weeks after operation with a USAF waver for last half
of my service in USAF. After I retired the FAA gave me a waiver and I
held my commercial license and CFII SMEL until I got heart trouble and
just stopped flying and sold my Turbo Mooney (

I'd do the research to see if what you had is absolutely disqualifying

If not a no no go for it ) Even if a no no, perservence has made
them change their mind in past cases and set new criteria.

I've recently read a couple of articles concerning people who have had

Why would a special issuance be required if the person had been successfully
treated for cancer and was free of the disease?

I don't remember if a cancer question was on the medical application or not.
