Recently interviewed by the magazine Gala, the performer of the title Eve get up gave herself up on the cursed day when the doctors told her the worst. Victim of bleeding for several years, the diagnosis was brutal for the star. “It was not normal. I did a hysteroscopy, an examination of the uterus under general anesthesia. Eight days later, the surgeon gave me the results of the analyses”, she explained.
In shock, Julie Pietri expected the worst, however. To avoid “all risk of metastases”, the latter therefore underwent an ablation of the uterus. Unfortunately, the operation did not go as planned. “When I woke up, I didn’t have pain like after an operation. The surgeon joined me in my room and explained that he had not carried out the ablation because he suspected that the cancer had spread to the peritoneum. He took my hand with great humanity and talked about six months of chemotherapy. I could already see myself without hair, with my life at a standstill… My world was falling apart”.
