tumeur pour la premi\u00e8re fois depuis 13 ans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Six semaines plus tard, il est sorti de l&rsquo;h\u00f4pital flottant et est rentr\u00e9 chez lui aupr\u00e8s de sa femme Claire, de leurs enfants adultes et de leurs petits-enfants. En se promenant dans le quartier, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 accueilli avec joie. <em>\u00ab Je ne peux pas expliquer leurs r\u00e9actions lorsqu&rsquo;ils m&rsquo;ont vu apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;op\u00e9ration \u00bb<\/em>, d\u00e9clare-t-il.<br \/>\n<em>\u00ab J&rsquo;ai \u00e9t\u00e9 vraiment tr\u00e8s bien accueilli\u00a0\u00bb. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">En entamant un nouveau chapitre de sa vie, Auguste a vu s\u2019ouvrir un monde rempli de possibilit\u00e9s.
