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.

PARTNERS FORUM
Peer support for partners through sharing your experiences
We facilitate a private, closed group for the partners of women living with serious/long term illness called 'Supporting You, Support Yours' and this can be joined at any point. Some members contribute on a regular basis, but some prefer to observe or just ask occasional questions.
Our CEO/Founder Pete moderates and adds members to the forum. It is linked with Dad Matters UK Project.
No medical advice is given on the forum due to everybody's diagnosis, treatment and side effects being different.
The forum is mutually supportive with a whole range of topics, worries, sadnesses and celebrations discussed/shared. There is always someone around for a bit of company, day or night. If we notice that you are having a particularly difficult time, then we may private message you to see if there is any further individualised help we can offer.
To access our support forum, please get in touch with us directly at pete@mummysstar.org.
