Indeed, the TV man revealed that he had to battle cancer over the past year. “It was a year ago, August 27, 2021 at the Pompidou Hospital: a kidney, a ureter canal, a piece of small intestine and colon and above all less cancer. 12 months later , still some pain, still a little tired… but so happy to be alive!”he revealed in the caption of a photo in which he can be seen in the hospital, bedridden and perfused, but valiant, thumbs up.
In another tweet, the one who is today the face of the franceinfo channel did not forget to express his deep gratitude to the nursing staff. “A big THANK YOU to all the health professionals who do a great job despite very precarious conditions.
