Gemma Hogg, 31, was determined to walk her four-year-old son, Thomas, through the gates of his school in the UK county of Surrey, the Daily Mail reported.
Mrs Hogg, who suffered from rare Inflammatory Breast Cancer, checked herself out of the centre where she was receiving treatment for the cancer on September 6.
She managed to go to the school with Thomas but died the next day, surrounded by her husband Simon and their three children.
Mrs Hogg's father Peter Carpenter told the newspaper that his daughter was determined to see Thomas off on his first school day.
"She was amazing. She really wanted to see him in his school uniform. That was her goal," Mr Carpenter said.
Mrs Hogg underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy when she was first diagnosed with IBC in 2008.
She was given the all-clear, but the cancer returned in October last year.
Donations can be made to the hospice where Mrs Hogg was receiving care at the Just Giving website.
