In the 1944 issue of Télé Loisirs, the famous weather presenter Évelyne Dhéliat confided in the breast cancer that she had to face 11 years ago.
“I felt that it was something very personal and that I did not necessarily have to talk about it or that there was no reason to dwell on my fate”, she remembered.
mutual support
But Évelyne Dheliat could not hide her illness for long. “I had surgery in June, there were summer vacations, I told myself that it would go unnoticed. But afterwards, the treatments had to be continued, I couldn’t come back right away. At one point, viewers called TF1 and sent emails to ask what was going on and so we communicated about it. It was mutually supportive. I had a lot of warm feedback from viewers, telling me that they were with me, that it was going to be fine. Me, in return, I undoubtedly gave courage to women by returning to work” explains fame.
Now committed to the fight against breast cancer, the weather presenter was the godmother of Operation Pink October last year and plans to take part in Jean-Luc Reichmann’s 12 noon shots program on TF1 in the near future in order to to encourage research.
“I responded positively because I had heard doctors say that it was important for people known to the public to talk about it, especially about screening. It touched me. I felt the responsibility to do it”, she concludes.
