Domingo
Prostate cancer recurrence
"I found out I had cancer thanks to a routine blood test. There may be a lot of people who have the same problem as me, who have a tumor and don't notice it.
I have regained the sense of security I had lost. I feel very good.
Harriet
Proton therapy for your esophageal cancer
In her 80s, Harriet traveled from Toronto to Madrid to be treated for esophageal cancer.
After the diagnosis in her hometown, Harriet and her family sought a second opinion that would offer a more appropriate treatment for her disease. Thus, they came to the Clínica Universidad de Navarra to receive proton therapy.

I recommend that you come here because the most important thing in life is to feel good.

"There are limitations but with desire, they are replaced. With this new medication for my hives I can lead a practically normal life.
I do not give importance to the disease, I have it and sometimes it bothers me but I do not give more value to it than to my life.
