Mum Stopped Cancer Treatment to 'Live More Fully' - She Died on Sunday
- Laura Dawson, a 44-year-old mother of two, died peacefully on Sunday, June 29, at St Christopher's Hospice in Sydenham, London.
- She was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in March last year after emergency surgery to remove a bowel blockage, followed by six months of chemotherapy.
- Despite an initially promising scan in August, the cancer returned and spread by September, leading Laura to stop treatment two months before her death to spend time with family.
- Laura reflected that in her final weeks, she experienced some of the most joyful moments of her life while making meaningful memories by writing letters and giving her sons, Jacob, 17, and Theo, 15, sentimental watches.
- Her husband Ben praised the care from the NHS and St Christopher's, said Laura faced her illness with openness, and noted that her story aims to help others cope with dying and death.
