For the moment everything is fine.Grateful for so much affection and spirits that cannot be answered one by one.

The Vasco politician announced that he was suffering from cancer – but not of the precise type – on July 14, a revelation that went viral in a few minutes and because he received public support both from his party comrades and from other political groups. The popular leader explained in a press release at the PP headquarters in Madrid that a cancerous tumor had been detected that would require “demanding treatment” and would therefore alter his public presence. He also said the tumor was in a “very early” stage and doctors expected it to be cured. The illness was detected during a routine check-up and had “reasonable medical prospects”. “It changed my life, especially personally, but we are trying to make it as unprofessional as possible, even if it will be difficult,” Sémper confides to the media.
In September, his couple, the actress Bárbara Goenaga (San Sebastián, 42 years old), wrote a moving message on her Instagram profile, accompanied by a compilation of her vacations with her children (Telmo and Eliot). “I come to decide that even if it is rare, I continue to be the most beautiful boy on the planet, the most joyful and the sickest (I don’t care and I fall a little). That I want with all my soul”, he declared at the beginning of the text. This is the second publication that the interpreter has dedicated to cheering up his son and father of his children, the last having appeared at the end of 2014. In mid-August he shared another collection of photos from his family vacation in Cádiz accompanied by a listening message: “Bizitzako momentu bakoitza zorte bat dela jakitea» (Knowing that every moment of life is a success).
While waiting for this new update on his state of health, Sémper has kept a low profile on social networks these months, but has also shared a few publications in which he thanks his company in Goenaga. “He once said, ‘I will slay dragons for you’; now I realize how presumptuous I was, because that was a failure. Bárbara is light, guide, mother and lover. She is generosity, talent and tenderness. We will have more cumpleaños, you deserve better cumpleaños, and we will give them to you. For now, enjoy this, my love. Zorionak“, he wrote on Instagram on July 20 to congratulate the actor. For the rest, his posts have recently relied on literary recommendations – “I took advantage of these weeks to settle some outstanding debts,” I said about his subsequent readings -. In recent months, he has appreciated titles such as The bravest areTHEn solos, Book of Sins, El loco de Dios at the end of the world Yes From time to time.
