Overview
- Esther Niubó disclosed Thursday in a Ser Catalunya interview that a thymus cancer was behind her recent medical leave and said she is back at full capacity.
- She first noticed sudden vision problems around Christmas, went to emergency care after the holidays, and tests found a tumor in the thymus, a gland behind the sternum between the lungs and the heart.
- Doctors performed major surgery at Hospital de Bellvitge that avoided complications, and she kept the illness private to spare her children and parents worry.
- She returned to work this week after more than two months of medical leave.
- She said she will execute the agreement on teachers’ conditions signed with CC.OO and UGT and has begun meetings with other unions such as USTEC that seek broader changes.
