The former presenter of the 1 p.m. newspaper of TF1 Jean-Pierre Pernaut announced this Monday evening to be suffering from lung cancer, specifying immediately that “everything (was) fine for now“.”I learned of this disease last May. I underwent a first operation in early July, a treatment that has continued for a few weeks“, he explained in a video posted on Twitter, confirming a”media leak“.”All is well so far. We are watching. Everything is under control“, he added.
Jean-Pierre Pernaut, 71, recalled having ever been treated for prostate cancer. “I waited a moment to talk about it. First of all, I think you shouldn’t be afraid of cancer. I had one: the prostate, you know that. I spoke about it to try to improve prevention. Same with the lung, I thought it only happened to others for years and years.“
