About this event

92% of adults find life after cancer harder than treatment. If you’re finding this part tough, you’re not alone.

At Life after Cancer, we offer free support to help you navigate the challenges that often arise once treatment ends , including fear of recurrence, identity shifts, brain fog, relationship changes, and figuring out what matters now.

You can connect with others who’ve had cancer through expert-led sessions, peer support groups, coaching workshops, and our 6-week group programme – all delivered by trained coaches with personal cancer experience, or by leading experts in life after cancer such as doctors, psychologists, clinicians, and researchers.

98% of our community members say they feel less isolated and experience improved mental wellbeing after attending our services.

About This Workshop

In this peer support, discussion-based session, Life after Cancer facilitates meaningful conversations about post-cancer challenges. Each session includes a guiding question to shape the discussion.

In this session, we’ll explore how your needs, expectations and relationship with work may have changed since cancer - and what support you might need as you return.

The session includes:

  • A group check-in to see how everyone is doing
  • A guiding question to reflect on
  • Breakout room discussions in pairs - share your experience, what has or hasn’t worked
  • A final group peer reflection - share insights and hear what helped others

Guiding question for this session:

How have your needs or expectations around work changed since cancer?

About Life after Cancer

Life after Cancer was founded to support adults navigating life beyond cancer treatment. We understand that while treatment may end, the emotional and psychological impact often continues. Our services are created and delivered by trained coaches who have personal experience of cancer, combining professional coaching expertise with lived understanding.

We also offer expert-led sessions that provide practical solutions for key post-cancer challenges, including fear of recurrence, fatigue, sleep difficulties, and "chemo brain."

Life after Cancer was created by Steph Davies, an ICF-trained coach, NLP Practitioner, and Mental Health First Aider. After completing chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Steph recognised how profoundly life can change after treatment. Life after Cancer exists to support others in shaping their lives after cancer - with greater clarity, wellbeing, and connection.
