Will I be told if there are any bad results on my medical?

I'm wondering if anything were to come up on my medical (which I don't think will) would they inform me when I go to pick it up? Or would I not know anything until my interview. I have lost 4 family members from cancer in the past 2 years. I have a bit of anxiety worrying about the what ifs

They're not checking for things like that. Just communicable diseases like HIV and syphilis as well as your lungs for signs of TB. It's a really basic physical (eyes, ears, throat, glands, breathing, heart beat...)

When I went through Vancouver and the Woking Medical Clinic in April 2009, the legalese they showed me made it very clear that this examination was a service being done for the consulate, not for me, no doctor-patient relationship was being created, that they weren't obligated to tell me anything at all, and that this examination was no substitute for a comprehensive physical examination by my own doctor.

That said, they were very nice and professional, and I believe they'd have told me if they found anything suspicious in the course of a normal examination, like a suspicious groin lump or mole or something, even if it was just an informal comment: "Have that looked at when you get to the US", etc. I wouldn't expect them to deviate from their standard exam process to go actively diagnosing, but I think they'd point out something they just happened to notice.

I have no experience with Dr. Cheema, however, so YMMV.

Thank you both so much
