WHO WE ARE
Meet the mums we support and read their stories
The news of a pregnancy or a recent birth is an exciting time for all prospective and existing parents. It can, however, be cruelly interrupted by the news of a cancer diagnosis and the worry that this brings to both you and your wider family.
Mummy’s Star has been set up specifically to offer support if you find yourself in this situation and we hope that by providing comprehensive information and links in this section, it will help you to get the support you need, access services that are available to you but most importantly know that you are not alone when you are going through this.
The information contained here is reviewed on an ongoing basis and will also be added to as new information becomes known about cancer in pregnancy. Likewise, as we receive more enquiries, we will add to the FAQs section in order to be able to try and answer as many of your questions in one place as possible.
Please contact us here and we can discuss more specifically how we can support you and your family.

CANCER SUPPORT IN & AROUND
"I still find it hard to fathom that the body, in the same space of time
that it created and grew a new life, was also developing
something that can kill too."
It's our 10th ANNUAL Awareness Week and we are going back to basics,
reminding you that a pregnant or post-natal person can still develop cancer.
We have TWO campaign streams running side by side this year...
Think. IT COULD BE CANCER
Highlighting obstacles to a cancer diagnosis in and around pregnancy and how to overcome them.
This content is aimed at healthcare and maternity students and professionals and will feature on the website, Twitter and LinkedIn.
I never thought...
IT COULD BE CANCER
5 mums tell 5 real-life over 5 days, to remind us that cancer can come at the most unexpected time.
This content is for everyone and will feature on our website, Facebook and Instagram.
