At the age of 17, Agathe Cauet, 1st Dauphine Miss France 2023, was diagnosed with a borderline tumour. A few weeks ago, the former contestant spoke to doctissimo about her battle: "What I felt during the illness was above all injustice... I let myself be supported by my parents and the medical profession". When you find out you have a tumour, it's both a physical and psychological upheaval. It's also an ordeal that affects your family and friends, and will have an impact on their mental health. Now cured, the young woman reveals her advice on how to cope personally and also how to support a loved one affected by the disease 💪.

The symptoms aren't always obvious, which is why you shouldn't hesitate to make an appointment with your doctor if you feel your body is changing.
