"Seamus Heaney's last words were 'noli timere.' Do not be afraid," she said. "I am not afraid. I am fearful that this new and important approach may be put into the 'too difficult' box, but I also have such great hope."
She spoke about how "so many cancer patients collaborate and support" one another each day.
"They create that community of love and determination that they find each other everyday," she said. "All we now ask is that doctors and health systems learn to do the same, and for us to work together to learn from each other."
"In the end, what gives a life meaning is not only how it is lived, but how it draws to a close," concluded Jowell.
Some peers appeared to brush away tears as Jowell spoke, and every single member of the house took to their feet once Jowell had finished.
