Mum Stopped Cancer Treatment to 'Live More Fully' - She Died on Sunday
- Laura Dawson, a 44-year-old mother of two, died peacefully at St Christopher's Hospice in Sydenham on Sunday, June 29, with her husband Ben by her side.
- She was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in March last year after emergency surgery to remove a bowel blockage, and initial scans in August seemed promising until the cancer spread in September.
- After receiving various chemotherapy treatments over six months, Laura decided to stop two months ago due to their negative impact on her health; she then dedicated her time to being with family and making lasting mementos.
- Ben emphasized their commitment to honest conversations with their sons, Jacob, 17, and Theo, 15, about the situation and what could happen, and he also commended the hospice and NHS teams for providing care that made Laura’s final weeks comfortable.
- Laura described her last few weeks as among the most joyful in her life, and she hopes her experience can support others in approaching death without fear or distress.
