Sara Carbonero
, a Spanish journalist and partner of former soccer player Iker Casillas, was operated on in a Madrid clinic for complications derived
from ovarian cancer
that was diagnosed in May 2019.
Last Tuesday, the 37-year-old communicator had been absent from the radio program of which she has been a part for a month, and is
hospitalized
at the University of Navarra Clinic.
According to Spanish media,
the operation was a success
and the patient is continuously accompanied by her family, including the former goalkeeper of the Spanish soccer team.
Through her Instagram account, the journalist
sent a message of courage and struggle
from the hospital.
In a story on the social network published in the last hours, he shared a fragment of the song "Espíritu Santo", by the band Facto Delafé and Las Flores Azules, which talks about always dancing in the face of any adversity.

The health problems of
Carbonero met
in October 2018
, when during World Breast Cancer Day she announced that she had been operated on for a lump in her breast.
"Only a few weeks ago, I experienced fear and uncertainty on my own skin when
a rather large lump was detected by surprise
in a revision. An operation and about 10 days later I was able to breathe relieved because the results said it was benign," he had revealed on his Instagram.
On May 21, 2019, weeks after her husband suffered a heart attack and had to undergo emergency surgery, Sara posted a post on her social networks announcing that doctors had found
a malignant tumor on her ovaries
, which is why it was intervened.
In November of that year, he confirmed to the
Hola
magazine
that he
had successfully completed the chemotherapy
he underwent and that, since then, he would undergo periodic reviews to check his favorable evolution.
Thus, the presenter resumed her work on the radio with the space "Let the dance follow", broadcast on Tuesdays and Thursdays by Marca, where she began as a journalist.
Carbonero and Casillas made headlines in recent weeks for
rumors that spoke of a crisis
between them.
However, those close to the couple flatly denied it.
