'Am I going to live?' The traumatic moment a glamorous Australian high jumper learned about the brain tumour that ended her Olympic dream... and led to her new modelling career

Australian model Amy Pejkovic's Olympic dream was put on hold after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour aged 19.


The professional high jumper was told by doctors she needed surgery to remove the mass from her brainstem in 2012. 'I just sat there and didn't say anything for ten minutes,' she told Daily Mail Australia on Friday, recalling the moment her life changed forever.
