Most but not all cancers will have a "postpone period" that starts on the day you complete your cancer treatment.
The postpone period will depend on the type of cancer you had, cancer staging, cancer treatment and the completion of treatment.
Some cancers such as basal cell skin cancer are insurable as soon as treatment is completed.
Other stage 1 or low stage 2 cancers may have postpone periods of 6 months.
Somthing else to keep in mind with cancer life insurance is that many life insurance companies will add a "flat extra" to the cost of your life insurance. Flat extras are temporary and may last 1-10 years.
It is important that you work with an "impaired risk life insurance expert" who can help you get the coverage you need.

Getting life insurance after cancer?
There are some life insurance companies that may offer life insurance for cancer survivors. One way to find out is to contact a life insurance agent in your area (yellow pages) and ask if they have a contract with a firm that offers life insurance for cancer survivors. Also, there are guaranteed acceptance life insurance plans available from some carriers for people age 45-74, but the coverage is usually limited to $20,000. Another option is to request free life insurance quotes online from a life insurance quote service that has a network of insurance companies they can offer quotes through, some may provide coverage for cancer survivors. I believe the Hartford offers life insurance for men with prostate cancer, and women with breast cancer. I read about it in a 2006 article from Fox News.
