Hi John,
Thank you for reaching out and apologies for the delay in response, it appears your submission got buried. There are certianly jobs that are available that may be more conducive to your current situation. I'd recommend taking a look at the articles and resources in our Looking for Work section of the CAC website. In particular, the article on Flexible Work may provide you with some ideas for what may work best for you at this time and how to most effectively get into it. I'd encourage you to also take a look at our comprehensive list of services and resources for Job Searching as you create your plan for looking for work. Finally, I'd encourage you to network when possible - this can help get word out that you're looking and that you're back in the job market, it can help you to not only find out about new positions that may be available, but could also help you get a foot in the door if you network with someone who will vouch for you or help you to get your resume in front of the right person.
Finally, for financial resources, take a look at our Financial Assistance Resources page to see if any of the programs/organizations listed may be of use to you.
Feel free to reach out to cancerandcareers@cew.org if you have any additional questions or requests for more information.
