You have to accept side effects that can be complicated … “, She explains, confident despite everything to keep a “steel morale”. “”There, I find a little bit of energy. I manage to do a few things, but it’s one per day “, She continues, before returning to the moment when she discovered that her cancer recurred.
“It’s like falling from the 15th floor. This time, the lymph nodes were touched. I still wanted to work for three days, after the news. Then, the next day, I was doing my first chemo”she said. A testimony full of hope, which recalls the daily life of many other women affected by the disease.
