After have two cancers In four years, Lydie Cochi could have resumed the course of her life and no longer hearing about this disease. Yet, She made her daily life. She tells her fight, her experience as a patient with passion and with a lot of humor during conferences.
“I refuse cancer, I don’t want it”
Why is she? Because Lydie is a “ Party Partner »In cancerology Sorbonne graduate. A beautiful revenge on life for the one who never liked studies. “It is a university degree that I passed when I was in remission and there are only 22 places,” she explains. It is done in 10 months with a memory and a defense at the end. »»
His memory, this 52 -year -old Norman did it on “The identity course after Mathilde’s passage. »Mathilde, like The nickname she gave to her cancers. “When I am told, it’s a real tsunami. I refuse cancer, I don’t want it, ”she explains. And then, she decided to fight with her family with her and the professionals of the François Baclesse Center. “I lived a lot of humanity in Baclesse,” she says.
Say that everything will be fine
Yet there is One thing that has missed in his career : have a patient partner who stretches her hand for Tell her that she is not going to die And that everything was going to be fine. It is one of the roles of the partner patient, perhaps one of the most important. “When you arrive at the hospital for your first chemo, you are afraid and we are alone despite our caregivers,” she says. Lydie intervenes in particular at Polyclinique du Parc in Caen, in a day hospital where she meets certain patients during their first chemotherapy. “I chat with them.

She joined the strategic committee of the Vivalto France private hospital group and is contacted to train physiotherapists or pharmacy preparers via CIFAC. “Occupational health prevention called me to sign an agreement to take charge of employees who want to go back to work after cancer. I receive people for one or two hours then I report. »Lydie insists on one point: There is a lack of follow -up between remission and resumption of work. “I see that I changed. I wanted to resume my job too quickly after my cancers, I did a depression. There is a real preparation. »»
Listening to Lydie checked tell her life experience, it is The predominant hope. “Look at what I became after two cancers. My life was a little destroyed but I knew how to bounce back. »»
