It's been 3.3 years now. I had non-hodgkin lymphoma back 2007. I spent my next 2 years 2008-2009 resting from medications and I had regular check ups.I'm cured and well now.
I can't seem to find a job or I don't know how to start my life all over again.I want to work abroad but there's no means and ways. Is there a program or a jobsite for cancer survivors to turn to?

    Hi romilda, there is a website called "gettinghired.com" it is for people with all sorts of disabilities. Even if your disability is only fatigue and weakness maybe they can help. I have not tried this website myself, you have to sign up. Take a look and let us know? Good luck in your search and CONGRATULATIONS on being cured and well! You've made it through that you can do anything now! Cat

    Life after cancer
    I too had a really hard time finding a job. This was even after my old job had promised a job there when I was better. It took me 2 years and I am just now starting to feel like my life is coming together.

    Congrats on moving on and being well.

    I don't know of a cancer specific site but have you used www.indeed.com. They are great at emailing you of new openings. I live in a super small town and they even have jobs for me.

    Good luck!
