Tracey Meechan, a 41-year-old mother of five, is suffering from severe pain caused by an ovarian cyst, significantly impacting her life and mental health. On an urgent NHS waiting list for over 100 weeks, she feels abandoned as her symptoms worsen, interfering with her ability to care for her children and perform her job as a home carer. After multiple GP visits and a year-long wait to consult a gynaecologist, Meechan's pleas for urgent help have gone unanswered. Despite considering private healthcare, the costs are prohibitive, leaving her in a painful limbo.
I can't live my life to the fullest. I can't do the activities I want to do with my kids. I can't do the job that I love. My mental health has declined.
It's a drudge. There is only so much pain relief I can take and still try to be a mother to my children.
