It is probably dependant on type of cancer as well. Melanoma survivors, as an example, are probably in a group that won't be accepted as donors. I like to think we are OK even if nobody else wants us. 
Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
