The PP politician Borja Sémper (Irun, 49 years old) has reappeared publicly this Monday through his profile in X. In his message he assured that, after four months of oncological treatment, he has already been four weeks without chemotherapy and that his recovery is progressing positively: “Hair is starting to come out and little by little I am recovering courage and strength“, he wrote accompanied by a selfie in which he is smiling with his thumb up.
Sémper expressed his gratitude for the support received: “We are grateful for the support we have received.So far so good. Grateful for so much affection and encouragement impossible to answer one by one. Thank you! “. His publication, echoed by thousands of followers, generated numerous reactions of solidarity among colleagues, journalists and citizens.
The diagnosis: a tumor detected at an early stage
The former Basque parliamentarian revealed his illness on July 14, after confirming that a cancerous tumor had been detected in a “very early” stage during a routine check-up. The diagnosis forced him to face a “demanding” treatment and altered his public presence.
After 4 months of treatment, I’ve been without chemotherapy for 4 weeks now.
Hair is starting to come out and little by little I’m recovering courage and strength to face what lies ahead.
So far so good.Grateful for so much affection and encouragement impossible to answer one by one.

In his press conference, Sémper pointed out that he hopes to overcome the ailment with good medical prospects. In spite of the personal impact, he indicated his intention to make the professional one “as little as possible, although it will be difficult”. This announcement generated a wave of support both inside and outside his party.
Public solidarity and family support in networks
During these months, his partner, actress Bárbara Goenaga, has publicly expressed her support on several occasions. In September she published an emotional message with family photos, assuring that although he “looks strange, he is still the most handsome guy on the planet, and the most cheerful and best sick”.
More recently, Sémper also shared a message on Instagram thanking him for his company: “”I once told him ‘I will slay dragons for you’; now I am aware of how presumptuous I was…””. In his networks, Sémper has also recovered small daily habits, such as sharing his pending readings, thus showing his intention to gradually resume normality.
The message of optimism after difficult weeks
Monday’s publication not only marks a turning point in his treatment, but also a gesture of optimism. In the midst of a hard physical and emotional process, the politician has decided to share his improvement with the public, aware of the impact and support that his situation had awakened.
Sémper’s words are evidence of his willingness to move forward with renewed strength and to show that recovery, although gradual, is possible. This sincerity has received public praise and has generated a flood of messages of encouragement.
A cautious and hopeful recovery
The break in chemotherapy represents a significant pause in his treatment, although Sémper has not yet detailed the medical steps he will take next. What he does communicate is that his hair is beginning to reappear and that his mood is improving, two symbolic signs of overcoming a delicate health process.

This type of statement can also contribute to making visible the reality of many people fighting against cancer, and to generate social solidarity. In her case, her high public exposure multiplies the reach of this message of resistance.
A difficult chapter that does not stop your will to continue
With his announcement, Borja Sémper puts a momentary end to months of discretion and media absence. The hope of resuming his life, his family, his work and his projects appears again, although with the caution of those who know the rigors of treatment.
Sémper’s story is a reminder that even public figures must face challenges as human as cancer, and that behind political life there are people with fears, hopes and adversities. His reappearance is a breath of hopeful air, while his message continues to generate support and affection from different corners of the country.
