When everything changes at 7 years old, having cancer as a child : this is the title of the two-volume testimonial book written by Léna and her mother Christelle.
A brain tumor
The young woman recounts her fight against illness at the age of 7, when she was in CE1. “Doctors diagnosed him with a cancerous tumor in his cerebellum 11 years ago. To save Léna, they had to cause a stroke,” explains Christelle, her mother, who lives with her daughter in Sainte-Luce-sur-Loire (44) near Nantes.
“Léna found the path to recovery in 2018, but suffered some after-effects following her stroke. She is still undergoing rehabilitation. » In high school, the 18-year-old young woman fights to get her classmates to change their views on disability.
“Accept your life test”
“The first volume, published in 2021, addresses Léna’s illness and recovery with her child’s words and my mother’s perspective. The second volume, released in 2023, immerses us in her life as a teenager with a motor disability, who must accept her life ordeal. »
