when you say clean and healthy does that mean they no longer have cancer, if so then I say push for the waiver, but if the person currently has cancer then the chances are NIL

how long have they been cancer free? I think the minimum is five years before waiver is considered. If they LOST a kidney, however, they will not be getting in, ever.

MEPs is a big bureaucracy, it is not a logical, well oiled machine. I don’t see the Arabic factor being weighed when the decision is made.
It is worth a try if a person wants to do it, but realize that luck plays a big role in this process.

If the cancer has been eradicated and some time has past without a reoccurance, he can try for a waiver. If it is in remission, chances of a waiver are zero.

I checked the data for 2005 (the latest available). Waiver requests for those with a history of malignant tumors is not among the top ten categories. In addition, a history of malignant tumors is disqualifying, with no consideration to any period of remission after treatment. So, I doubt a waiver request would be successful. The source below is the medical standard for this condition.
