A member asked:
Does leukemia prevent people from getting certain types of jobs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is illegal, as far as i know, to deny someone a job based on their health status. In addition, if one has leukemia and is otherwise healthy with their disease under control i know of no reason they cannot do any job for which they are qualified.
