Guide for mums now online

Mums who are undergoing cancer treatment anywhere across Australia can now access an online support guide thanks to a grant from Dry July Foundation.

Mummy’s Wish received a donation through the Dry July Foundation to update and expand Dealing with Cancer: A guide for mums and to publish it on our website,making it accessible to mums from Airlie Beach to Albany and everywhere in between.

This new 36-page guide provides mums with some of the basic information they need to know including how to cope with their diagnosis; tell their children they have cancer; ask for help from family and friends; and suggest ways to enjoy time with their kids, even when unwell.

It also features a page for spouses and partners; financial and legal assistance and important numbers. There are also links to other resources from organisations including Cancer Council Australia, Lifeline, CanTeen and Centrelink.

Printed copies of Dealing with Cancer: A guide for mums are now available, please contact Mummy’s Wish on contact@mummyswish.org.au or 1300 045 741.
