Argentine officials say President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner will returned to work this week following a cancer scare that led to the removal of her thyroid earlier this month.

Vice President Amado Boudou, who has been filling in for President Fernandez, says she will be returning “in full form.”

The 58-year-old president was diagnosed with thyroid cancer just before Christmas and underwent surgery January 4.  Later tests on the tissue revealed the initial diagnosis was wrong and the nodules found on her thyroid were benign.
