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.

COPING IF YOUR PARTNER'S CANCER RETURNS
Supporting you after your partner's secondary diagnosis
There are many options to access support for you to help. Experiencing a cancer diagnosis in your immediate family is a distressing event that we hope will never happen again. Unfortunately for some mums and our families, their cancer spreads to another part of the body.
When this happens, it means the cancer is no longer curable and is described as either Metastatic, Secondary or Stage IV cancer.
Treatment options remain available and prognosis varies widely depending on the type of cancer, grade and where it has spread to. The purpose of treatment becomes one of controlling further growth rather than cure and will continue until such a time as it is deemed no longer effective.
