Mother who delayed cancer treatment to deliver baby daughter dies at 29 after disease spreads to her brain, spine

Gemma Nutall beat cancer twice and lived happily with her daughter for over two years but had a relapse earlier this year which ultimately took her life
PUBLISHED OCT 19, 2018

The woman who decided to wait for the birth of her daughter before starting medical treatment for cancer has died.

According to a GoFundMe page set up by family, 29-year-old Gemma Nuttall of the United Kingdom was 16 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back in 2014. Doctors had offered Nuttall the option to terminate the pregnancy in order to remove the tumor. However, she chose to delay both the surgery as well as chemotherapy until after the child was born.
