FORMER Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas' wife Sara Carbonero says she has received 'positive news' during her post-op check-up after undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer.
The reporter, 35, was diagnosed during a routine gynaecological visit towards the end of May, a few days before Iker's 38th birthday and only a month after he collapsed with a heart attack during training.
Fresh from a stent implant operation in Oporto, where he now plays, Iker is resting at home and is able to be with Sara (pictured) through her ordeal, and both are said to have moved temporarily to Madrid to be near the Clínica Ruber where she is being treated.
But both are able to breathe a little more easily now Sara has been told that her operation went 'according to plan and without complications'.
She is still in treatment, although what form this takes has not been confirmed, although it is likely to involve chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy, despite the tumour's having been discovered at a very early stage.
