Woman died from ovarian cancer after being told she likely had an STI

Melanie Earley Reporter from Papakura Courier

Kia ora neighbours, a woman died of ovarian cancer after being sent home from the emergency department and told she likely had chlamydia.


The family of Amy Meyer, 36, believe if doctors had listened to her concerns, she might still be alive.

Meyer, from Pukekawa, south of Auckland, was taken to hospital in December 2020 suffering from severe abdominal pains.

Her brother Matt Meyer, from Pukekohe, said she was told she most likely had chlamydia, a swab for sexually transmitted infections was taken, and she was advised to see her GP in three days.
