It looks like you have other irons in the fire, girl! The right opportunity will present itself and you are already prepared for it. Keep going. The only time when you have a 100% chance of failure is if you don't get out there and take a shot.

Experiences give us experience. I'm glad you got out there and went not only one round, but you passed and you made it to the second round. Rest assured, not everyone made it to round 2. There are always things we can add to our tool-box from whatever it is we experience.

Do not be afraid to compete. You have done something the competition may never have had to even think about--you fought a life-threatening disease and you beat it! You are strong and you have a great life perspective to bring to any endeavor. You are positive and you aren't letting it define you. I'm sure you can find ways to cast a light on it so it is seen as less of a liability and more of an achievement should anyone ever bring it up. Spin can make a huge difference.

Kate,you have overcome a bigger challenge than finding a job. Keep at it. You'll find what you are looking for. And, your employer will be lucky to have someone with your depth and spirit. I'll wish you good luck anyway because it can only help. But, girl, you already have what it takes to be successful.
