A member asked:
Can you be a living organ donor if you've had chemotherapy?

Yes: It would depend on what was the cancer, how long ago it was treated, was it cured and for how long, the specific drugs used, and the current condition and level function of the kidneys.

Possibly: It depends more on the nature of cancer the donor has had and how long back and of course should still have two good functioning kidneys.
