It was in July 2023, after a long absence from social networks, that Caroline Receveur shared the terrible news: two months earlier, her doctors had diagnosed her with particularly aggressive breast cancer… Little Marlon’s mother was then at her second cycle of chemotherapy. With courage, the 37-year-old influencer did not give up, despite the arduousness of the treatment necessary to save her life, documenting her fight on Instagram. This Sunday, November 17, it was with relief that Caroline Receveur’s subscribers received her news in story, they who were worried about her two days of silence after a major operation: “I’m doing well, thanks. I was very weak these last two days because my surgery lasted 7 hours…”
The young woman also clarified that her anesthesia had “much diminished”but also that she felt “much better since this morning”. Enough to reassure her fans, who were delighted to see that Caroline Receveur finally seems to be returning to the course of a normal life, focused on her little family and the upcoming holidays. On Friday, November 15, the influencer had her PAC removed, “this little box implanted under [la] skin” which allowed him to receive his chemotherapy. The sign that she will finally be able to move on… However, there was still one step left for Hugo Philip’s wife to feel good about herself: a new mastectomy, to “reclaim” breasts that were no longer symmetrical “neither by their size nor by their shape”.

Caroline Receveur, her moving message: “Die to be reborn better”
If Caroline Receveur is relieved to finally be able to consider her life other than through the prism of illness, the fact remains that her fight against cancer has left its mark. On Instagram, last June, the young mother explained that she was still in the transition phase: “Physically, morally, professionally, I am no longer the Carolina of before, but I have not yet become the new one.” This new operation, which we hope will be the last, should help Caroline Receveur to finally take this final step, and begin the rest of her life. As the influencer had explained again, she now needs “learn to live, look at yourself, love yourself differently”after having the feeling of having to “die to be better reborn”.
