In her book “The forbidden words” published this Thursday, November 4, 2021, Clémentine Célarié reveals to have fought colon cancer. During the health crisis, the 64-year-old actress explains that she did not immediately reveal her illness to her children: “I did not immediately tell my children the truth, telling them thatI had a big polyp removed‘. My little lie was passing they didn’t ask me for details. Out of delicacy, surely. Perhaps out of respect for a possible secret. Or becausethey just believed me“, she wrote in her book.
This Sunday, November 7, this mother of three children was invited to the “8:30 p.m. Sunday” set. The artist returned to this grueling fight which pushed her to its limits. “The problem is, if you’re in pain, for me that’s a way to fall, you see? If we fall, we fall completely “, she confided to Laurent Delahousse. The artist native of Dakar then explained the state of mind that inhabited him, as a protection: “Fear is very dangerous you cannot be afraid. There is a combat reflex “, she estimated.
Eager to share her experience and to give courage and strength to all those faced with this painful ordeal, Clémentine Célarié let go, full of optimism. “I am healed, I’m alive and I’m lucky to be able to talk about it, I am privileged. Cancer is cured, it is a way of life, we are grown “.
