Wednesday, December 21, 2022, Valentin Léonard confided in painful memories. The companion of Rachel Legrain-Trapani explained that he had undergone a significant operation in the hospital.
It’s an ordeal he’s talked about before. In April 2020, Valentin Léonard revealed that he had suffered from leukemia at the age of 6. After one year of treatment marked by chemotherapy and lumbar punctures, he had finally succeeded in overcome the disease. However, the bad memories are still anchored in his memory.
Wednesday, December 21, the companion of Rachel Legrain-Trapani published a picture in the hospital on his Instagram account. He explained that he had suffered “a very small operationwhich had lasted less than 10 minutes, but which turned out to be traumatic. “To explain, I have a certain hospital-related phobia, a kind of post-traumatic stress related to my leukemia.” he confided. Following this first shot, he added a moving photo, where he appears as a child, completely shaved head because of his chemotherapy.
Valentin Léonard: “I burst into tears without being able to stop”.
Visibly still in shock, the former participant of Beijing Express said that he had been put the oxygen mask to put him to sleep, before things turn into a nightmare. “I saw all the images of my disease, the physical pain, the treatments and all those feelings that crossed me during my fight against the disease.” he related before revealing: “I burst into tears without being able to stop“.
If the companion of Miss France 2007 has finally asleep in tears and with “a feeling of absolute sadness“, he woke up much more serene. A way for him to reflect on what had happened to him and above all to Send a message. “The trials are there to make us understand that life is fragile and that we must learn to appreciate it at every moment.” he concluded. A moment that Andrea’s dad is not about to forget.
