The TVA weather presenter, Nadège St-Philippe, succumbed to her cancer on Saturday evening, surrounded by her family.
“There are very few words to express the sadness we feel, Nadège will leave a very big void. We are losing a colleague who is very dear to us, but also a friend of the big family of TVA”, can we read in a press release from TVA Nouvelles.
The entire family of TVA Nouvelles wishes its most sincere condolences to her husband, friends and family.
“A real ray of sunshine, it marked our daily lives and our newsroom for more than fifteen years,” says TVA editor-in-chief Xavier Brassard-Bedard.
The one who had been a weather presenter for Groupe TVA since 2006 was first diagnosed with stage three colorectal cancer in 2011.
“I knew because my body, sorry to say, was literally bleeding out. I didn’t want to know, maybe, but I said to myself “it will stop, everything will be fine, I am correct”. So I haven’t changed anything in my daily activities”, she mentioned in March 2021 on the show “Deux filles le matin”.
The following year, in February, she tried to return to her activities, but two weeks later her doctor contacted her to say that a polyp she had been removed was cancerous. “I was relieved, I told myself that all that was behind me. Unfortunately, a few weeks following the procedure, my doctor announced to me that what he had removed was cancerous; all the analyzes confirmed it. So, despite the beautiful mandates that have been entrusted to me, for my health, I have no choice but to take a break from my professional life”, she told the magazine “La Semaine”.
