User Information

Biography

I’m french and live in French Polynesia (Moorea). I love nature, meeting people and working hard. I had a very small lymph node removed on 2002 and since this year I know I have a NHL. No chem cures were possible because nodes were too small. Since last year I’m getting a R-CHOP therapy and I’m fighting for life. I love my husband, my family, my friends, my life and the moments I share with you, ALL!
