Medical science is an amazing thing and it is keeping me alive, but it has limitations because it is to do with the logical mind.
“But things we call miracles, things we don’t understand, happen all the time, they happen outside the realms of logic and scientific data. Nobody knows why they happen, but it is possible for the impossible to happen. I still hope I could get my impossible miracle.”She is famed for playing Zoe Tate on EmmerdaleSince her diagnosis, Leah has tried numerous tactics to keep alive and ease her pain - including using cannabis oil which she made her herself.
She continued; “I’m running out of time, I’m terminal and I’m doing all I can to prolong that and I’ve also broken the law. I’ve made myself into a criminal because I used cannabis.
