We are watching. Everything is under control “.

Jean-Pierre Pernaut, 71, recalled having already been treated for prostate cancer. “I was waiting a while to talk about it. If I talk about it, first of all I think that we should not be afraid of cancer; I had one: the prostate, you know that. I spoke about it to try to improve prevention.
