For many people, support falls away once cancer treatment ends or becomes ongoing. While clinical care focuses on treatment, the impact on confidence, identity and everyday life can remain.

Odyssey exists to meet people at this point.

Participants often describe the experience as a turning point – helping them rebuild confidence, try new things and feel more able to move forward. For some, this leads to changes in work or direction. For others, it is about feeling more comfortable in themselves, their relationships and everyday life.

Research from our participant surveys shows increases in confidence, motivation and optimism following an Odyssey course; with many participants reporting feeling more able to return to work, enjoying life and optimistic about the future, whatever it may hold. 

Every experience is different, but many participants describe similar changes in confidence, outlook and what feels possible.
