Bride, 23, marries the love of her life just 11 days before she lost her battle with cancer - as family's frustration lingers about the lack of simple medical care that could have saved her

Ashleigh Simrajh died 11 days after her wedding on September 5

The family of a terminally-ill young woman who died from cancer 11 days after she married the love of her life have shared her intimate wedding video to thank the local community and encourage others to go for regular skin checks. 

Ashleigh Simrajh, 23, and Jason Hale said 'I do' in front of 50 of their closest family and friends at Sea World Resort on the Gold Coast on September 5.

The 'fanatical' Essendon fan's death came more than a year after health practitioners advised her the lump on her leg was probably a wart. 

Her father Tony shared the video with Daily Mail Australia to thank supporters who sent their love to Ashleigh during her battle with melanoma.

He has received messages from people across the globe including Nigeria, South Africa, Slovenia, Portugal, India, New Zealand, the UK, America and Russia. 

'It is a very personal video but as a family we felt that everyone had an emotional investment and it was the right way to say thank you to everyone,' he said. 

The family have also expressed their gratitude to the local Gold Coast community who rallied behind Ashleigh for her big day.

This includes Facebook group Gold Coast Girls in Business, Sea World and wedding planner Hanna Raymant from Boho Luxe and Co who 'pulled everything together within five days'.  

Mr Simrajh said his daughter was a 'beautiful bride' but there is more to her story than her wedding day.

The family maintain Ashleigh was let down by the health system, who they claim initially failed to take a biopsy of the lump on her leg.

'We believe that she didn't die because of melanoma,' Mr Simrajh said.

'That is just what killed her.

Ashleigh's father Tony told Daily Mail Australia the family are sharing the wedding video to thank the supporters who sent their love to Ashleigh during her battle with melanoma

'She died because a GP and a specialist failed to provide basic health care by not doing a biopsy.' 

Mr Simrajh said his daughter would want everyone to go for regular skin checks and make sure doctors perform basic medical tests. 

Up until her final breath, the 23-year-old used every ounce of her energy to encourage others to question a doctor's diagnosis if something doesn't feel right. 

'Ashleigh fought for nine days past when she got told she only had a maximum of three days to live and then after her wedding another 11 days,' Mr Simrajh said. 

'In her final days we nursed her at home and she was surrounded by her husband and family when she passed away.' 

In the emotional wedding video, Mr Simrajh said the best thing the guests could do is 'spread Ashleigh's story'. 

'She just doesn't want anyone else in the world to go through what she has,' he said during his speech.

The emotional footage also shows the young couple and their wedding party get ready for the nuptials.

Ashleigh was wheeled down the aisle by the father and sat beside Mr Hale as the pair read each other their vows. The groom was left in tears as Ashleigh spoke.

Mr Simrajh previously told Daily Mail Australia the nuptials were both the saddest and happiest day of his life - after the family's world was flipped upside down by Ashleigh's illness.

'We got told in late August that she had one to three days to live and her strength to still be here to get married just showed how important it was for her,' Mr Simrajh  said. 

Ashleigh was 20 years old when spotted a lump on her leg and took herself to the doctor to get it checked.

But the family claims the doctor thought it was nothing more than a wart and sent her to a surgeon, without taking a biopsy.

Overtime, Ashleigh's bump became painful when she knocked it and she knew something wasn't right

'She first saw a GP in 2018 who told her it was a wart and referred her to a specialist,' Mr Simrajh said.

'Ash thought it was a skin specialist but we now know he was a general surgeon who again told her it was cosmetic and would cost $2,500 to get removed. 

'Neither of them did a biopsy on it and Ashleigh left reassured that it wasn't anything to worry about.'

But overtime, Ashleigh's bump became painful when she knocked it and she knew something wasn't right.

'When it started to bleed she went to another doctor who immediately did a biopsy and told her two days later it was melanoma,' Mr Simrajh said.

Mr Simrajh said the family was 'devastated' to learn the cancer had spread across Ashleigh's body.

'Let down is not how I would describe it. I would describe it as we have been betrayed as she trusted the medical professionals,' he said.

'She believed them and continued her life as if nothing was wrong.

'If it had been diagnosed when she first went to see them she wouldn't be where she is now.'  

Before her death, Ashleigh weighed just 34 kilograms and her father said she struggled 'for every single breath'.

Ashleigh and her family have launched legal action against two practitioners. 

'Anyway how do you replace a life? How do you fix the pain and suffering that Ashleigh has had and the impact on our family? How do you replace never seeing her again or having grandchildren?' Mr Simrajh said.

'I would do anything or give anything to have Ashleigh in my life forever she is not only my daughter but she is my best friend.

'I will never be able to fill that void our family will never be whole again and we will never be the same.'

Mr Simrajh said the legal case is not about money but is instead about the doctors 'owning up to their errors and taking responsibility'.  

He hopes to spread his daughter's message: Get your skin checked and trust your instinct. 

'If you don't feel like the doctors are doing the basic things like a biopsy get someone else to check it as well,' he said.

Ashleigh was sent a letter from Prime Minister Scott Morrison thanking her for her efforts in reminding Australians about the dangers of skin cancer

She also received a phone call from Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk ahead of her wedding.   

'The PM heard about it and wrote her that awesome letter that gave her the strength to go on that was such a kind thing to do and meant so much to her,' Mr Simrajh said.

'Annastacia called her personally and sent flowers on her wedding day. She even gave Ashleigh her mobile number so Ash could send her wedding pictures and to reach out to her if she needed anything.

'Ash has had so many messages of support and also people who have had their skin rechecked to find out that they have melanoma as well Ashleigh has saved lives she really has.'
