The 43-year-old Belgian revealed in October 2023 that she had a rare cancer, diagnosed two months earlier, and which has kept her away from film sets ever since. “It turns out that, unfortunately, things are not progressing well. […] I'm back for the chemo that I went through a little over a year ago.” she declared during an interview on the show 7 à 8.
“Deep down, I know I won't live as long as I expected. […] I'm only 43 years old. I have always dreamed of living to be at least 80 years old and falling asleep permanently in my sleep. That’s what I’m asking.”she said. “I trust medicine. […] I hope that research for my cancer will continue to advance.explained the actress.
