Carla Bruni reveals that she overcame breast cancer that she carried in secret

"Surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, I followed the usual path to treat this type of cancer." Carla Bruni has revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago, which she has already overcome. Until now it was not public knowledge that the singer and model had suffered from this disease and, as she has highlighted on social networks, she tells it to raise awareness about the importance of periodic mammograms for women.

At 55 years old, the wife of the former French president has said that "luckily" her cancer was not aggressive "because it did not have time to be aggressive." In this sense, the mannequin has shared that she has a mammogram every year and that if it were not for these tests "today she would no longer have a left breast." This secret, Bruni says, he has long hesitated whether to share it or not, because "if I make this post it is not to give you the details of my health."

Bruni has chosen this date to make public her overcoming condition because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and she wanted to join this transversal awareness campaign. Specifically, as shown in the publication, he wanted to make visible the Institut du Sein de Paris, a specialized center in the French capital that offers its patients completely personalized support in which all phases of the disease are taken into account. and the consequences of 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. Among them are 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 general population about the importance of this disease.

Her first child, Aurélien, born in 2001, was born during her relationship with Raphaël Enthoven, son of the literary editor Jean Paul Enthoven, who was also the artist's partner. Her second child, a girl named Giulia, was born on October 19, 2011 as a result of her marriage to former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

Last Saturday, the wedding of Javier Prado, son of Mediaset director Borja Prado, and Catalina Vereterra took place in Medina-Sidonia. Around 800 guests attended the celebration, including Bruni and the former French president. According to the wedding chronicles, the model and singer was the talk of the party.

This year the couple celebrated 15 years of marriage. They married on February 2, 2008 in a ceremony at the Elysee Palace while he was president of France. The couple walked through the altar after three years of relationship and, although according to Bruni later, there were many who saw that union too early, "we were so sure of that love that we said 'go ahead'." It was an intimate wedding and after the ceremony they had a small party at the La Lanterne restaurant. After the wedding, the singer settled in the Elysée and began the couple's years of greatest visibility and popularity.
