Removal of reproductive organs and sanatorium

In June 2013, I had an operation to remove my uterus and ovaries due to a malignant tumor of the endometrium.

Everything is fine because I have a checkup every 3 months. Can I apply to a sanatorium in the present state? Are there any contraindications? – Wiesław

A referral for sanatorium treatment is issued by a primary care physician or another specialist treating you, working under the contract concluded with the National Health Fund, after determining your current health condition and determining indications and contraindications for such therapeutic procedure. Pursuant to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of 5 January 2012 on the method of referring and qualifying patients to spa treatment facilities, one of the contraindications is an active neoplastic disease and, in the case of malignant neoplasm of the reproductive organs, up to 12 months from the end of surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. So you can only apply for a trip to the sanatorium from June 2014.
