Mother Delays Cancer Treatment So her Baby Can Live

My article title which is the following summaries the situation:
Mother Delays Cancer Treatment So her Baby Can Live.

I read this article in Fox online news. It is a new from Daily Mail. It deals with an expectant mother who had to choose between cancer treatment to save her-self or no treatment to allow her baby to survive. The article report that she learned that she has advanced liver cancer when she was four months pregnant.
This mother which name is Lorraine Allard, 34 years, chose to let the fetus come to term. Actually she got a healthy but premature boy a week before the expectancy date. Unfortunately she died two months after because she began chemotherapy too late considering the scientist methods.
I stopped on this article because it is a new perspective in comparison on what occur in my home country. Pregnancy in my country has many risks and complication even without cancer. The special thing about it is that women’s opinion is not required when doctors have to save the mother or the children. They automatically save the mother live. If it has been possible for the women to choose, their relative would not accept to save the baby instead of the mother. For example a husband has the responsibility toward his family in law to keep his wife healthy.
This event made me wonder this mother has done the best choice because she had already three children who will miss her.
