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.

​
Everyone recovers from cancer in their own time and in their own way. Some people can feel pressure or expectation to recover immediately, or return to how they were before their diagnosis. In reality, you will need time and space to process what you have experienced in the past and to explore who you are and how you have changed in the present.
​
The weeks, months and years after treatment can be full of unexpected, overwhelming and conflicting emotions and both psychological and practical changes.
​
Our Support Library has articles that might feel relevant to your post-treatment experience including...

Life after cancer

The psychological impact of cancer
