Not eligible for rehire

I worked for this company for over 15 years but towards the end I quit due to personal family issues. I did not leave on good terms but later when my life calm down my boss offered me my job back. I was excited and thankful to be given another chance but apparently someone heard about it and she took back her offer. Fast forward to 2016, I was hired at the same company but different location so I was happy but before I actually started my job I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. I told my new boss, she wasn't happy but I didn't think I could work while doing chemotherapy. So I declined the position at that time. Now I have been in remission for over a year and I have put in a total of 47 applications. I cannot understand why I am not getting any call backs except for one I did get. It was a recruiter who was reaching out to me to let me know the manager will also contact me. During our conversation I told her about having cancer but that I am in remission. She told me to not tell that to the manager. I was confused but I said ok. The manager never called and from then on no recruiter called me again. Now I have a total of 25 years experience so I'm wrll qualified. So I filed a complaint to see why because they are not suppose to discriminate. Today I did receive another call from a recruiter saying that the reason wht I haven't been hired is because I am listed as a no rehire which makes no sense. The new manager put that and I have never once worked with her because I had cancer so on what grounds or right did she have to put that? I was shocked because of I was a no rehire tgen the recruiter would have never called me to let me know the manager will call me. I'm trying to do everything the right way but this is keeping me from working and I do mot know why this manager who really did not know me would put that.

It is unfair and so wrong that this manager put that on my records because now it is keeping me from getting a job that I love. The Cancer did not kill me but this feeling of hopelessness because of the actions of one person is causing me a great deal of stress.. No one has the right to mess with another person's life just because I waa sick. She was angry because I could not take the position but I had no idea that she could be that spiteful for nothing. What can I do ? I didn't want any trouble but I'm so lost and confused. I just want to work
