Alice Detollenaere and Camille Lacourt have built a loving partnership since meeting in 2019, deepened by the birth of their son, Marius. Alice’s battle with breast cancer began in January 2020, but Camille’s support helped her through. Recently, Alice underwent a preventive mastectomy due to cancer concerns but faced complications, leading her back to surgery. Despite her fears, she remains optimistic about her health journey, prioritizing her well-being over aesthetics while keeping her followers updated.
A Love Story Built on Support and Resilience
Alice Detollenaere and Camille Lacourt have shared a strong and loving partnership for over five years. Their enchanting journey began in 2019 at the Automobile Show, where they first crossed paths. Their relationship blossomed further with the arrival of their son, Marius, on June 1, 2021. However, their path to happiness was not without challenges. In January 2020, Alice bravely revealed her battle with breast cancer, a journey she faced with immense strength, bolstered by Camille’s unwavering support.
Upon receiving her diagnosis, Alice contemplated ending their relationship, as she shared on the podcast InPower. She expressed, “But you can leave, we can separate.” Camille’s response was heartfelt: “Thank you for giving me the choice, but that’s not at all what I’m considering.” After spending considerable time together in the Paris area, the couple has now made their home in Marseille, though they recently made a trip back to the capital.
A New Challenge in the Operating Room
On January 5, Alice Detollenaere took to Instagram to share an update with her followers. In a story featuring her and Camille, she wrote, “Heading to Paris with my other half to go back to the operating room. Everything is fine, no worries!” Her message aimed to reassure her 51,000 followers, despite the seriousness of the situation.
However, her initial post did not quell the concerns of her fans. In response to the outpouring of comments, Alice provided further clarification. Following a potential risk of cancer recurrence, she made the brave choice to undergo a preventive mastectomy of her remaining breast, accompanied by breast reconstruction using an implant. Unfortunately, this recent surgery has led to complications, prompting her return to the operating room.
Since her last procedure, Alice has experienced ongoing discomfort related to her breast implant. This persistent issue caused her to consider additional surgery, despite her hesitations. “Since my last operation, I have discomfort due to the implant with which we reconstructed the breast. I have hesitated for four years about going back,” she candidly shared. She expressed her natural fears regarding surgery, even though the primary concerns were aesthetic in nature. “If, for example, the operation fails, I could end up without a breast,” she admitted.
Despite her fears, Alice ultimately decided to move forward with the surgery after careful consideration. “After weighing the pros and cons, I prefer to try and stay optimistic,” she stated. For her, prioritizing her well-being and comfort is essential. “Aesthetics, yes, but not at the cost of well-being.” This upcoming operation, which will involve both breasts, aims to alleviate complications and enhance her quality of life. On Monday, she shared a selfie from her hospital bed, with a visible bandage on her chest, reassuring her followers with a simple message: “Everything is OK,” while she prepares to keep them updated on her health journey.
