“Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, I followed the usual path to treat this kind of cancer.” Carla Bruni revealed yesterday on social networks that she was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago and that she has already overcome it. Until now it was not in the public domain that the 55-year-old singer and model had had this disease. As she highlighted in a video on her Instagram profile, Bruni decided to explain it to raise awareness about the importance of regular mammograms for women.
The wife of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy clarified that “luckily” her cancer was not aggressive “because it didn’t have time to be”. In this sense, the model explained that she gets a mammogram every year and that, if it weren’t for these tests, “today I wouldn’t have my left breast”. Bruni says that he was very hesitant to share this information about the disease or not. “If I make this publication it is not to give them the details of my health”, he wrote.
The artist chose this date to make public the condition she had overcome because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and she wanted to add to this transversal awareness campaign. Specifically, as he showed in the publication, he wanted to make visible the Institut du Sein de Paris, a specialized center in the French capital that offers patients fully personalized support that takes into account all the phases of the disease and the consequences of the treatment.
With this public statement, Bruni joins a long list of celebrities who have wanted to raise awareness about the prevention of this disease by telling their story in the first person. This list includes Kylie Minogue, Cynthia Nixon, Anastacia, Ana Rosa Quintana and Terelu Campos. World Breast Cancer Day has been celebrated on October 19 since 1988, with the aim of raising awareness among the population about the importance of the disease.
The singer of Quelqu’un m’a dit is a mother of two children. She had her first, Aurélien, born in 2001, during her relationship with Raphaël Enthoven, son of the literary publisher Jean Paul Enthoven, who was also the artist’s partner. His second child, a girl named Giulia, was born on October 19, 2011, the result of his marriage to Sarkozy.
The wedding of Javier Prado, son of Mediaset manager Borja Prado, and Catalina Vereterra took place on Saturday in Medina Sidonia. Nearly 800 guests attended the celebration, including Bruni herself and Sarkozy. According to wedding chronicles, the model was the talk of the party, where she gave a musical performance.
