“It is not a question of declaring victory too quickly”, assures Matthieu Lartot on Friday on his Instagram account. Last April, the former commentator for the French Rugby team announced a relapse of his knee cancer. For 25 years, the journalist has suffered from synovial sarcoma, a malignant tumor present in the joints. In April, his illness had forced him to withdraw from the sets of France Televisions.
Just amputated from his leg, Matthieu Lartot gave news on social networks. “Straight ahead!” he wrote on Instagram. “The path to rehabilitation has been underway for two weeks and morale is high! The amputation went well and the results of the anapath came in two days ago: they are excellent. The chemo worked and the operation did the rest. »
On Twitter, Matthieu Lartot is amused by the enthusiasm around his situation to deliver a little idea that runs through his head: “Given the generosity of the French, I should perhaps start a kitty for my leg prostheses. The most sophisticated are at 100,000 euros, a trifle! »
Given the generosity of the French, maybe I should start a kitty for my leg prostheses ?? The sophisticated ones are at 100,000€, a trifle!
The France Télévisions group is the co-broadcaster of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, which takes place from September 8 to October 28. Matthieu Lartot hopes to be able to attend the opening match as a supporter. Until then, he still has to take the time to acclimatize to his new mobility.
