Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, 58, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer on December 22, and she had the gland and adjacent lymphatic nodules removed Wednesday at the Hospital Austral, in the Buenos Aires suburb of Pilar. On Saturday, she was discharged from hospital, and doctors found no cancerous cells in the thyroid, according to a report of the German Press Agency "DPA". "The definitive test showed the presence of nodules in both lobes of the president's thyroid gland, but it ruled out the presence of cancerous cells..." said presidential spokesman Alfredo Scoccimarro. She will need no radiotherapy to follow up on surgery. She is to rest at the presidential residence in the Buenos Aires suburb of Olivos.
