Syria's first lady says 'totally' cancer free

[Tender Branson]

BEIRUT: The wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said in an interview aired late Saturday that she was “totally” free of breast cancer after a year of treatment.

“My journey has ended... I totally conquered cancer,” said Asma al-Assad, sporting a stylish short haircut and a long white dress, in an interview broadcast on state television.

The Syrian presidency announced last August that the 44-year-old first lady had begun treatment for breast cancer.

Since then, photos of her, thin and wearing a headscarf, have regularly been shared on the Syrian presidency’s social media accounts.

In January, she underwent an operation at a military hospital in Damascus, according to the presidency.

Ironic, considering the 100.000s who died under her husband's watch.

I’m never sure, is she British or Syrian?

Good for her!

She's an exceptional lady. Great for the Syrian people.

I guess we dodged a bullet with Syria but this isn't a success story. Trump basically "lost" a war.

Assad sucks but he’s better than ISIS. And you can’t lose a war you don’t fight

I fail to see the relevance of the Syrian First Lady’s condition with a thread subject all on its own other than, you know, Tender’s focus on pretty foreign women.
