Online Cancer Thriving and Surviving Programme with Mayo Cancer Support Nov/Dec 2026

This free online 7-week programme, which was designed by Standford University, has been created for those who have completed or are about to complete their cancer treatment.

The Cancer Thriving and Surviving Programme can offer you a sense of confidence and a chance to learn skills that help you manage your health when moving on from your cancer treatment.

Led by a cancer survivor, in partnership with a facilitator, who have undertaken special training provided by the National Cancer Control Programme, this programme consists of 7, relaxed and friendly 2.5 hour weekly workshops that will run weekly from 10am to 12.30pm every Tuesday morning from November 3rd to December 15th 2026.

Through shared support, it helps you to build your confidence in your ability to manage your health and maintain an active and fulfilling life.

You will learn about:

• managing fatigue, pain, sleep problems and emotional distress
• coping with uncertainty and fear
• exercise and physical recovery
• healthy eating and lifestyle
• communicating with family and healthcare professionals
• decision making about treatment and complementary therapies

Participants take an active role in the workshops by setting their own weekly goals. Numbers are limited to 16 but we will run this programme again at a future date.
