Unfortunately, the ability to work and the ability to find work are often mutually exclusive, especially for cancer patients. Fortunately, "we" are now protected from discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but we still need to find available position openings in our respective fields. You might inquire at a local affiliate of Air America (http://airamerica.com/stations), known for non-discriminatory hiring practices.</p> <p>Eventually, I found work, and you will too. We cancer survivors are tenacious individuals.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> <p>Rick</p> <p>http://www.firstmediation.com/blog/?p=248</p> <p>http://www.hlnsj.com/index.cfm?section_id=b95832e3-1143-5852-6680-0fe1fa8e62e9</p> <p>http://www.ada.gov/</p> <p>http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/09/20080925-8.html</p> Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:09:36 -0500 terato comment 617209 at http://csn.cancer.org http://csn.cancer.org/node/163870 <p>I am a twenty year broadcast veteran in NY who just completed my second round of cancer and chemo. I am ready to go back to work, but, cannot find a job. My background has been mostly in talk radio as a producer and host. The business has changed drastically in the last several years, so the work opportunities have practically dried up.</p> <p>If there is someone who is in or knows someone who is in the broadcast business, i am willing to relocate anywhere to get the right position.
