    I would say a big fat yes on addenda for both. Cancer treatment is a darn good reason to see a gap in work as well as tank your LSAT score.

    I think being honest about the effect that your illness has had will mitigate most red flags on your app, especially if you have managed to persevere in spite of it.

    You could address this in your PS as well, but even so, a mention of how this effected your lsat and/or work history seems wholly appropriate.

    Thanks so much for your response Sara, I really appreciate it. My PS definitely touches on the effect diagnosis and treatment had on me as it's been the focal point of my life for a year now. That puts me at ease, thanks so much again.
