“Amy pleaded for a scan because she had a history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts,” he said.
“She was convinced it was her ovarian cyst causing the pain. But she was sent away with antibiotics and a script for pain relief.”

Amy Meyer died from ovarian cancer in May. Her brother Matt Meyer, left, and father Greg Meyer are advocating for change on her behalf.
The pain didn’t go away, so Meyer went to her GP and was referred for an ultrasound.
“This was over the Christmas period, and she waited weeks in absolute misery,” Matt Meyer said.
