Here are search results from the USCIS result relating to the search term "TB". You may find some useful information here

That's what I did because I was vaccinated and skin test was positive, but x-ray was clear.

Didn't your doctor refer you to have the X-ray?
If you received the BCG in your country of origin, you may test positive for the TB skin test, without exposure to TB.
Doing the Chest X-ray is normal procedure with any positive skin test.

[QUOTE=NettieL;505384]A TB skin test is either positive or negative, there's no in-between. They should've measured the reaction with a ruler for color and induration and made a determination.
If you received the BCG in your country of origin, you may test positive for the TB skin test, without exposure to TB.
Doing the Chest X-ray is normal procedure with any positive skin test.
The assistant used the ruler and couldn't determine the result, then they have to call the doctor to check on me, he used the rule, hesitated a little, and said, "it is not 100% positive, it is in the gray area between positive and negative, you either have to take the blood test or chest X-ray for the final result". The blood test is cheaper than X-ray. The assistant said if the result of blood test is positive, I still need to go through the X-ray. So I decided to skip the blood test and straight to X-ray, good thing is the result satisfied USCIS.

It looks like ineligibility focuses on Public Health risk (communicable diseases and others), and cancer doesn't qualify as a public health risk. Because the US doesn't have universal healthcare and you are not allowed to get government funded medical insurance for a number of years, it shouldn't make you inadmissable.
The person who is sponsoring you (Filed Form I-864) is financially responsible for you, including your health related expenses.
You have the option to see if you are denied and then contract a lawyer to file a waiver if needed. Or, you can contact a lawyer who has experience with filing medical waivers now, to set your mind at ease.
