The answer

If there is an excuse that prevents ghusl, then tayammum for janabah is permissible. However, it is preferable to consult another specialist and trustworthy doctor, especially if they are Muslim, to confirm the condition. If the doctor who informed you of the danger is the specialist and you trust them, then there is no harm in accepting their word and performing tayammum until the specified period ends, in order to preserve your health and safety.
