Lee Cheesman: Tumour found in brain after hit by car, Healing through Ayahuasca, Breathing

from Beyond the Field

Lee Cheesman shares a story of how a near death experience to be something that saved her life, literally. Getting hit by a car while crossing the road. It was because of this event that doctors found a lime-sized tumour in her head while she was in hospital. The tumour was affecting an optic nerve which meant her sight wasn’t clear. As a result she was hit by a car she ‘didn’t see’. After nine months of chemo and two operations she has been clear since 2013. She shares what helped her through that period.Lee works for Pacific Labour Facility - a program which helps people from the Pacific Islands to get work into a currently in-demand industry. Many people (mainly from PNG) have messaged me on social media channels asking to help them to get jobs in this space. Please go to the Labour Mobility Units within the country.
