The tragic death of Paloma Shemirani, 23, has raised serious questions about the influence of her mother, Kate Shemirani, and the choices surrounding her cancer treatment.
Paloma died in July 2024 after refusing chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, despite doctors' firm belief that such treatment offered an 80% chance of recovery. The coroner's inquest has revealed concerns that Paloma's refusal was heavily influenced by her mother's conspiracy theories and alternative medicine beliefs.
