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.

Important information about Mummy's Star
Governance
The work of Mummy’s Star is managed by Pete, Rebecca, Sarah, Louise and Tracey on a day to day basis and is overseen by our board of trustees and medical advisors, all of whom have first-hand experience of this situation. This has come either from a medical perspective, going through this personally, caring for a partner or dealing with the early loss of a loved one. We hope that with this experience we will be able to help other women and families through this situation by offering practical support.
​
Confidentiality/Data Protection
All information that we receive from women and their families is treated with the strictest confidence along with the monitoring information we collect. We ask every family, when they make contact, whether they wish their feedback on our service to be made public on our website and other literature and this will only be done with their express permission.
The purpose of asking this question is that the more feedback we get from families, the more it helps us to adapt our services. Likewise, feedback helps us to publicise the work we do to other families, partners, potential donors, hospitals and much more.
