If I remember correctly, anyone who has had cancer has to either wait 5 years before donating or cannot donate at all. It depends on the type of cancer and is generally done on a case by case basis. The reason being that rogue cells may be passed to someone else. The same goes for organ donation (except for the corneas and skin, I think). It's done to protect people so their conditions aren't made worse.
