As I see there are three options:
Option 1. Apply in any case, and follow through as there is no problem.
In worst case scenario: You will lose application fee, time and effort. Not a big deal.
Option 2. Go to a Doctor on CIC list. (Accredited doctors list is there on CIC site.) Check link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/dmp/usa.html
Get a check up and ask him if it will make her medically unfit for migration.
( "Applications for permanent residence will not be accepted if that person’s health:
a. is a danger to public health or safety; or
b. would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada. " )
If at all, she will attract (b.) above.
Downside: It will cost you doctor's fees and time and effort.
Option 3: Do nothing.
Best of Luck.

AFAIK, the Dr. would not comment or commit to anything like this.
The doctors are licensed by the CIC to perform certain medical tests, and send the results to the respective CHC.
They don't have the mandate to discuss an applicant's medical situation with him/her.
They do not reveal the results of the tests or their findings to the applicant.
My guess is that if you call such a doctor, he/she would simply tell you that he sends the results to CHC and is out of the loop from there on.
The doctor doesn't know what decision CIC makes, and why.
As I see it, there are only two options - (1) apply and hope for the best and (2) do not apply !

Question:
What is the nature of the disesase? Can it be detected by the usual tests screening test performed by doctors, like blood tests, urine/stool exam, x-rays etc. Or is it a problem that can be detected only on specific patient complaints and require problem specific tests?
Maybe the suggestion is not entirely ethical, if it is the latter, you may just as well keep your mouth shut and let the process take its own route.

You will have to lie to the doctor on several levels - he/she will ask about current and past illnesses, current and past medication, etc.
The OP said that his wife is still taking medication.
If so, the medication will most likely be detected in the urine test.
I would say either don't apply, or apply and be perfectly candid and let the process take it's course.

pratickm, DiogenestheCynic, and LD:
I would like to thank you all for giving me great suggestions. I am still thinking and I am trying to get hold of the doctor who does medical even though as one of you has suggested that he may not tell me anything or he does not have anything to say about the decision made by the immigration medical officer.
I am hoping to get some idea from him as he happened to be working in the same university I study and work for.
Thanks again.
Have a wonderful day.
