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

BEYOND SUPPORT
Mummy's Star can support your patient beyond birth and beyond a primary diagnosis
While your contact with a patient may come to an end following them giving birth or fulfilling a treatment plan, Mummy's Star can continue to offer support and assistance for as long as they require it.
We are also here to support mums who receive a secondary diagnosis of cancer, regardless of how long they have been in remission.

No matter how much experience you have, little prepares you for supporting a pregnant woman or one who has given birth through end of life care. During this time we encourage you to access support through your place of work or study and to consider counselling and any other support you may require.
For your patient, your most important act will be to care for them just as you would any other pregnant person or new mum. Encouraging them to celebrate this time as much as is physically and emotionally possible, and make memories for the whole family. Being a mum first and a cancer patient second will support the family to move through these difficult experiences connected and together, and with as much ease as possible.
