It has already been two years since Agathe Auproux entered the remission phase of her cancer. Unfortunately, the former columnist of Touche not at my post is still discriminated against today because of her illness.
- In 2019, Agathe Auproux’s life changed.
- At only 27 years old, the former columnist of Touche not at my post was diagnosed with lymphoma.
- Last year, after battling for months against this cancer, Cyril Hanouna’s former protege announced with emotion that she had entered the remission phase.
While there are more and more cancer survivors, the journalist and former columnist Agathe Auproux had, while looking to buy a home, the bitter experience of the discrimination suffered by people in remission.
“I present a risk for insurance”
It has already been two years since the young woman entered the remission phase of her cancer of the lymphatic system, which she treated with chemotherapy. Healed, the star of the small screen expressed in an Instagram story his desire to become an owner. “I wanted to be a landlord before I turned 30, mainly because I work in Paris, and so I’ve been renting an apartment in Paris for over six years now. And I’m not telling you that Parisian rents are very high. I prefer to invest this money since I have the capacity″, she wrote.
But she also denounced: “Because I had cancer at the age of 27, and while I am in complete remission, I present a risk for the insurance companies who say to themselves: “Wow, that one, she has fragile health, she could die at any time. moment, I am not serene at the idea of lending her a lot of money that she will probably not be able to repay me in a few years. Since she has already had cancer.
The right to be forgotten only applies ten years after stopping treatment
Indeed, serious illnesses such as cancer or burnout can in some cases be considered by mortgage insurers as an aggravated risk that may lead to the refusal to insure the ex-patient. The right to be forgotten, which allows them since 2016 not to mention this medical history to their insurer, only applies ten years after the cessation of treatment.
“Since last year, people who were diagnosed with cancer before their 21st birthday benefit from a right to be forgotten, the period of which has been reduced to five years. I believe that this delay should be applied to all people who have been cured of cancer”, militates MP Philippe Meyer (Les Républicains), interviewed in Capital.
“Cancer is a very special disease because it is very deeply involved with society. Therefore, to be able to support people with cancer, there must be interventions and know-how that are quite representative of different sectors of being and society”, already explained in December 2019 the ex-president of the League against cancer Axel Kahn, whose death was announced on Tuesday July 6.
