The show seven to eight devoted this Sunday evening a portrait to Florent Pagny. Between Paris, New York and Patagonia, the singer evokes his fight once morest cancer and the possible return of the disease.
“This story sucks, it never ends”. Florent Pagny, to whom TF1 devotes a portrait in seven to eight, this Sunday, March 5, talks regarding his fight once morest cancer and the return of certain worrying symptoms. “This is not the scenario we were hoping for,” he adds.
Journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara met the singer three times, in Paris, in June 2022, while he was undergoing treatment for lung cancer, then in November 2022 in New York, and finally in January, in Patagonia. In remission in November, Florent Pagny then made the decision to interrupt the post-cancer immunotherapy he was following, to rest in Patagonia.
“There are always real possibilities of relapses, they come in all their forms”, explains the singer.
The return of a “huge fit of coughing”, reminded him of the beginning of the disease. A round trip to Buenos Aires to “take pictures” confirmed to him that there was indeed a problem. “The images aren’t terrible, so in three days I’m going back to Paris to see what’s going on.”
“There is a node that has fixed, which means that there is a risk of metastasis. There is always something that ends up reappearing,” he adds. “I didn’t do the immunotherapy treatment so I have to get back to it quickly”.
Evoking the five months spent in Patagonia and not France to be treated, he launches: “perhaps if I had been in France, I would not have this lymph node which appears like that, if I had followed the program. It’s kind of my fault.”
A little over a year ago, on January 25, 2022, Florent Pagny announced in a video that he had just been diagnosed “a lung tumora cancerous tumor” and that he had to cancel his tour to treat himself. The singer then continued to keep his fans informed the progress of his health. He had announced at the end of 2022, his return to the stage this summer.
