[…] I'm off again 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.
