Well wishes from us too. I also just past the one year mark after stage 3C (as my doctor called it) colon cancer. It was a crappy year with some complications but there is reason to believe it can be beaten.
It's wisdom to recognize that years or psychological manipulation often leaves long term unconscious phobias. IOW, fear, when fear makes no rational sense.
All the best, NJ.

Would your doctor be upset if he told you to abstain from meat and he learned you had a liver transplant?
By the way, billions of white blood cells are transferred from donor to recipient with every major organ transplant permitted now by the organization.
Million of white blood cells are passed from mother to nursing baby at every feeding.
The GB simply talk out of their hats.
Or they talk out of both sides of their mouths
In the list of things that will prevent you for entering the kingdom, blood is not mentioned. 1 Cor. 6:9-11.
Blood nor birthday are mentioned in the list. It is the WT that make their own list of sins that, according to them, jeopardize your future.
Take care of yourself. I hope it all works out fine for you.
What everyone else has said.
Also when Jesus healed someone on the Sabbath and the religious leaders had a go at Him he said that it was not breaking the Sabbath laws to do good and heal people. So saving lives is more important than rules .
Life is sacred and Jews have no problem having blood transfusions because they understand that life and saving lives is not banned by the blood rules . They are about the sacredness of life.

One thing I’ve learned about the Org…
...when they’re obviously wrong about minor things, they (eventually, and very quietly) walk it back, and pretend they never taught the wrong thing in the first place…
…but when they’re wrong about big things…
…they are 100% guaranteed to double-down like a lifelong gambling addict in a Vegas casino.
Every. Fucking. Time.
NJ501 - I am so sorry that you are facing medical issues like this. Perhaps when you are past the treatment and in recovery, you will look back and see that you were much stronger than you thought. As for the BT issue, that is your choice to make, and you alone have to make it. Please don't let fear of what others think influence your determination to survive. I wish you the VERY best and also comfort during the treatment.
Thank you all for the kind encouragement and support I appreciate it alot.
