If you decide to change jobs or careers

Your health history is no longer a block preventing you from changing jobs or even careers.
Becauuse of the Americans With Disabilities Act and similar laws, a prospective employer cannot ask about your health history. You can write your resume to avoid calling attention to missed time.
Before moving to a new employer, check the employer's benefits. In addition to health insurance, particularly look for disability income insurance and life insurance. Even if you don't need life insurance for a beneficiary, it can become an asset that you can sell if you become sick.
It is advisable to tell a new employer about your breast cancer history after the job offer but before starting work so you can take necessary time for doctor appointments and follow-up tests. Of course, emphasize that you are now in good health and expect to stay that way.
Consider becoming self employed or starting your own business. What could happen in the future is not a reason to hold you back from pursuing a dream.
