Hey there good sir!
Good to hear from you and I am very happy to hear you are doing well.

Being a cancer survivor should in no way change your application, except maybe you can tell the story of surviving cancer if it is relevant to the application.

Other than that I can say that the main thing at this point still remains the GMAT. The better you can do in that, the better schools you will be able to apply to. For some info on that have a look at this article: https://admissionado.com/mba/to-retake-o ... n=mba_blog

Best,
Jon
