Narrative:

After takeoff there was a strong odor in the cabin; stronger in back galley. I was still buckled in my jump seat. I saw the a and B flight attendants get out of their jump seats and move into the cabin. The odor was strong and I could feel a burning in my chest that went away in half hour or so. The crew decided that everyone was capable of going on to [destination]. During flight the C flight attendant had to take oxygen and several others had headaches.
