In 2018, Jean-Pierre Pernaut had created the surprise by revealing to suffer from prostate cancer. Since then, he has been treated… and is affected by another form of the disease. Indeed, the former presenter of the television news of 13H on TF1 has contracted lung cancer. Harsh news made public in November 2021, when he had been cured of the right lung and the left had just been affected. Sunday January 23, 2022, the lover of Nathalie Marquay gives his news to our colleagues from the Parisian.
While Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, candidate of Debout la France in the presidential race, had indicated that he wanted to appoint him Minister of Regional Planning, Jean-Pierre Pernaut is invited to respond. He then declines the offer, indicating that he is concerned about something more important, such as his health. “I have other concerns at the moment“, he confides then. The opportunity for the 71-year-old journalist to give news, he who had planned to spend the last holidays with his family before carrying out new analyses.Everything is fine. The exams are in progress. We cross fingers“, he then launches. So all we have to do is wait for the results…
Remember that Jean-Pierre Pernaut has already been operated on for this lung cancer. Indeed, last July, in the greatest discretion, the host treated the right side … before a 3.5cm tumor broke out in the left lung, at the end of August 2021. This time, there was no question of ‘operate. “It would be too heavy for my little health“, he said on C8 last December, in the documentary Life after which retraces his journey.
A painful ordeal after his prostate cancer in 2018. Again, Jean-Pierre Pernaut can count on the unwavering support of those close to him, in particular his wife Nathalie Marquay, mother of his children Lou and Tom Pernaut (20 and 18 years old) . “We won against the prostate, we won against the first lung… Cancer does not mean death. And everyone is affected by cancer, unfortunately”, had declared the former Miss France who fought against leukemia years ago on the Touche plateau not at my post about the state of health of her dear husband. Comforting words for Jean-Pierre Pernaut.
