You absolutely should respond with corrections.

Except for Trolls. No one should respond to a troll.

Looking for a sig the
lawyers will hate

and Kev seems to hae some sort of strange "need" to respond to him. He
is one of a few that are keep MXIdiot coming back. Unbelieveable, but
that is what this NG has degenerated to.

Kev's BS snip
The FAA view is that if you have a known cancer, then you could also
have unseen brain / nervous system damage. If it was non-metastatic,
I believe they want a year to go by after cure. Otherwise could be
five years or more or never.
end of BS snip

You should do some research before you post such BS. Ask Cecil Chapman
how long it was before he got back in the cockpit after breast cancer.

Well, since I had my esophagus removed due to cancer, yes I've done
research.

Please read the FAA Policy on Cancer section in this flight surgeon's
website:

Breast cancer is a special case. However, I'm wrong about the non-
metastatic timeline, which is great.
