Patrick Sébastien is honored in the pages of Gala, to be published tomorrow. The 68-year-old presenter gave an interview to our colleagues, the opportunity to reveal that at the beginning of the year, he suffered from cancer.
The former emblematic figure of France 2 will soon present a new project. His book Live and be reborn every day, which is scheduled for release on September 29 by XO editions. “An unfair eviction, cancer, a separation, in recent months I’ve taken it all in stride. Ordeals added to past wounds. I could be at the bottom of the hole, complaining from morning to night. It’s just the opposite that happens“, can we read in particular in the presentation of the book. It is a very intimate opus that readers will be able to devour in a few days.
Before revealing it to the world, Patrick Sébastien agreed to confide in Gala. And he did not hide that physically, it was very complicated for him at the start of the year. “In terms of health, it’s a beautiful tsunami that fell on me“, he confessed. He then revealed that he has suffered from a “kidney cancer“a test, which forced the former presenter of the Biggest Cabaret in the world to be hospitalized for an operation. “Today everything is fine“, he assured, even if he has”taken from the belly because [ses] abs were cut for the operation“. After his convalescence, the former companion of Marie Myriam was able to go back on stage after two months.
This is not the first time that Patrick Sébastien has had to fight against this disease. In 2010, skin cancer turned her daily life upside down. “A doctor’s look at one of my moles saved my life. He told me to go and have it analyzed. It was skin cancer which luckily hadn’t metastasized yet. I’m not saying this to make myself sorry, [mais] to encourage people to be controlled“, he confided to TV Magazine at the time.
