A young Gold Coast woman who waged a high-profile battle against melanoma has died at the age of 23.
Ashleigh Simrajh launched legal action against two doctors who failed to diagnose her cancer.
Her husband, Jason Hale, whom she married just 11 days ago, paid tribute to his wife on social media.
"You were so brave and strong and I know that you tried your absolute best fighting this battle," he wrote.
"Words cannot describe the pain I'm feeling right now.
"I'm absolutely devastated and my heart is completely shattered."
ABC News reported on Ms Simrajh's case last month.
She first noticed a lump on her thigh three years ago, but by the time it was diagnosed, it was beyond treatment.
The cancer had spread to her lungs and lymph nodes.
Lawyers acting on behalf of Ms Simrajh and her family launched legal action against two practitioners, seeking compensation for pain and suffering.
Ashleigh Simrajh hoped her story would serve as a warning to others.
Mr Hale fondly remembered their wedding day.
"To have called you my wife meant the absolute world to me and I'm so grateful that the day happened.
"For now my precious angel, fly high".
Before she died, Ms Simrajh urged others to get every lump checked to safeguard against melanoma and other forms of cancer.
