Mom refuses chemo to save her baby


A mom dying of cancer refused treatment because she feared for her unborn baby.

It’s one of the top stories on NewsOK today, and one of the more heart wrenching stories you’ll read. Compelling stuff from The Oklahoman’s Sonya Colberg. Video was shot and edited by NewsOK’s Grayson Cook.

Stacie Crimm died three days later.

Paula Cohen, a producer from The Daily, the new iPad news publication recently launched by News Corp and Apple, called today to request a copy of the video. They may run it in The Daily tomorrow.
