SERIES. Indrienne Valérie Minier recounts her long-term fight against breast cancer

On March 11, 2023, his life changed. Without warning. After a routine mammogram for her 50th birthday, Valérie Minier learned that she had breast cancer. The subsequent examinations also revealed a pathology that was much more serious than expected, and invasive. Far from letting herself be defeated, this nurse threw herself headlong into a fight against this disease which changed her life.

A fight that she wants to tell today “for other patients, to tell them that they are not alone” and slide them “some advice, some tips” that she has gleaned throughout her long and tedious journey. The NR went to her home, in Thenay, to collect her testimony. To transcribe this in the most exhaustive and faithful way possible, we have chosen to produce a series in three parts.

> Episode 1. “Don’t be left alone in the face of illness”: overcoming the shock of the announcement

> Episode 2. “I have to continue to look like what I am”: how to deal with physical and psychological change?

> Episode 3. “I believe in the power of words”: a long road to healing
