The former First Lady posted on Instagram, a video, in which she explains that she was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. In the middle of Pink October, she encourages women to have screening mammograms.
The National Cancer Institute estimates that by the end of 2023, 61,214 new cases of breast cancer will have been diagnosed in mainland France. In the middle of the Pink October campaign, which aims to raise awareness among the general public of this evil, Carla Bruni shared a publication on this subject on her Instagram account, Wednesday August 4. Parading signs, the artist and wife of former President Nicolas Sarkozy explains that she was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. Then, she recalls her journey to treat this type of cancer. “Surgery, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy”, she lists, taking care to specify that these are the classic stages shared by all women with breast cancer.
The deadliest cancer in women
The singer also specifies that her cancer was not yet at an aggressive stage, because it was detected early. Carla Bruni emphasizes that “every year, on the same date, (she) does a mammogram”. “If I hadn’t done this every year, I wouldn’t have a left breast today.”, she adds. Specifying that she was very hesitant to speak about her health in public, she specifies that she agreed to communicate on this subject with the aim of “delivering a single message”: “Get your mammograms every year.”And added: “It’s about your life.”
Published in partnership with the Paris Breast Institute – Cancerology, this message, both sober and strong, aims to act as a warning bell. As the National Cancer Institute states on its website, breast cancer is both the most common and the deadliest in women. If detected early, the survival rate is 87%.
