I will remember the day when the doctor said to me: ‘Sir, you have to hospitalize your daughter. She has cancer.’ It was December 31. I tell him: ‘Well yes, I’m celebrating New Year’s Eve and I’m coming tomorrow? – Sir, you did not understand. It’s a cancer, you have to come right now. That, I will remember all the time”, confides Fabien Roussel in front of the camera when talking about his daughter now 27 years old.
