Knowing that this could be a complicated process for Mathilde, they decided to go see reproductive specialists together and therefore take a whole series of tests as required by protocol.
"That's how, even before being born, my son Andréa saved my life."
Indeed, it did not take long for the doctors to discover an anomaly in Sébastien's right testicle, "an anomaly that I had put on the account of a small shock felt in a roller-coaster some time ago. »
From there, everything went very quickly- ultrasound a few days later and the diagnosis fell for Sébastien – testicular cancer.
"Then comes a surrealist phone call with a surgeon to talk about ablation, then an appointment the next day with the anaesthesiologist and finally the operation the following week.
All this felt like a big punch in the face. »
"After the operation, which went very well, I didn't really see the next step coming either when I was told that a chemotherapy protocol was going to be put in place. And that's when I think I fully realized that it was going to be a long and difficult fight. »
It has now been more than 5 years since Sébastien's chemotherapy was completed.
"I am now in complete remission but I will never forget this part of my life. I think it made me stronger than ever. I am no superhero, but I have always spoken openly and without taboos with my family and friends who were there all throughout to support me. »
Now, Sébastien would like to support the men who are at the heart of the fight and has therefore created an exchange group to talk about his experience without taboos. "The guys who pass by... " https://www.facebook.com/groups/932268216822674/
His message to men: "Check your nuts, fight against the disease and talk about it! I assure you, you don't have to be a cowboy to be a man."
