An important operation
This Monday, January 6, the 64-year-old presenter revealed a new stage in his fight, indicates Here is : he must undergo major surgery.
“The operation consists of removing a piece of lung, in this case the right lung, he explained in the show Chez Jordan. The surgeon will see by opening exactly, but a priori, they will remove two lobes of my right lung. I will therefore have a small part of my lung left which will continue to function. It is a major operation, obviously, which is not without risks, like any operation. And there, even more when they open your chest. It’s not trivial, but I go into it with a lot of confidence, because I know that I am being operated on by extremely competent and gifted people, and that it is an operation that is still common.”
A long convalescence
Pascal Bataille also knows that a long convalescence awaits him after the operation. “A somewhat difficult month of convalescence” is to be expected, he confided.
“There is a pain management problem, because it is quite painful. Afterwards, I hope that it will only be a bad memory and that there will be monitoring to be done, because the one of the vices of cancer is wanting to come back regularly. But I think I’ll be back on my feet at the beginning of February. In any case, that’s what I’ve set in mind.”he said.
