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."

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.
