Just diagnosed with stage I breast cancer, mastectomy next week. Anticipate
some degree of chemical warfare post operation. Doc says it may cause hot
flashes, wife says welcome to her world.

Current medical runs for another 14 months. I will be talking to the AOPA
folks but was curious if anyone had comparable experience and could give me
view as to hoops, traps, etc that I might anticipate.

Since cancer is not normally a cause of sudden incapacitation in flight, I
don't see why the FAA would care, especially after it is cured. However,
during the course of chemotherapy you probably would not be in flying
condition, so that would have to finish first.
