I've got a rather odd question that I've been mulling over for awhile. After undergoing cancer treatment with radiation and chemotherapy, are we then excluded from donating blood because of it?

Of course, I realize this is probably the least of things we need to worry about, but last week a blood donation letter arrived at my house and it made me wonder if for the rest of my life I would be kicked out of the local blood drives because I had chemo and radiation.

Not only blood donation, but as prior cancer patients are we unable to be organ donors as well?

Hoping one of you has the answers. It's not that I'm upset by being excluded, just curious.
