“We did well to dig”: Béatrice de La Boulaye speaks frankly about her cancer

This Friday, November 4, France 2 broadcasts the penultimate episode of the new season 3 of Criminal Tropics entitled English Bay with notably Sonia Rolland (Commander Mélissa Sainte-Rose), Julien Beramis (Lieutenant Aurélien Charlety) and Beatrice de La Boulaye (captain Gaëlle Crivelli).

It is from a completely different angle that Béatrice de La Boulaye confided in our colleagues at TV 7 Days last month on the occasion of the month of Pink October. Indeed, the 41-year-old actress was diagnosed with breast cancer. For information, She also made a call during this interview. “I would like to take this opportunity to encourage all women to get screened for breast cancer”, she had pressed. She notably shared a perilous memory during the filming of season 3 of Criminal Tropics : “Last year, a few weeks before the shooting, I underwent a reconstructive mastectomy of the right breast. Without screening, what would have become of me?”she wondered.

I was convinced that I had nothing

A few weeks ago, Béatrice de La Boulaye gave an interview to Current wife in which she announced that she had breast cancer “24 days”. “It was the gynecologist who asked me to go for a little mammo check-up that I hadn’t done for 2 or 3 years, she said. There were small foci of microcalcifications in one breast. We did a little biopsy, it revealed atypical cells. All these doctors were quite zealous. We kept looking. I wasn’t super willful. I was convinced that I had nothing (…) And so, I met a teacher who was a little more specialist.”

Following this, Béatrice de La Boulaye had to undergo a lumpectomy, a breast operation. “The first operation is the one where I was removed a piece to take a larger biopsy finally. That one is the one that abused me the most because, suddenly, they were touching my breasts, which they had never touched. It wasn’t for aesthetic reasons. When he gave me the results, he said: ‘We did well to dig because you had a small tumor of 2 mm. Forced to announce her breast cancer to her relatives, the young woman tried to reassure them: “With the word cancer, there is the word ‘death’ associated with it. And when you talk about it to those around you, half the job is to reassure them because for everyone else, you are going to die.”
