Sorry to hear that.

As a very simple answer, the whole FAA medical system is based on
incapacitation. If any part of your treatment or condition could lead to
any form of incapacitation you'll have an uphill battle with them until
you
are finished with the treatment and can provide proof that you are in the
clear.

Thanks, I have indeed and have already gathered all records, except one
key test. Others will follow the surgery and what ever systemic treatment
is prescribed. Likely I'll have a better maintenance log on me than on the
rentals I fly.
