Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - Hesse's Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) is not thinking of a foreseeable withdrawal from his office.
"The health disposition is the basis for everything," said Bouffier of the German press agency in Wiesbaden.
«I am very grateful that the cancer did not come back.
I don't take it for granted. "
That enables him to work very intensively, said the head of government.
"I do it with pleasure and in such a situation with great responsibility" said Bouffier with a view to the fight against the corona virus, which has been going on for months.
"If you unexpectedly get a very serious cancer diagnosis, all other questions take a back seat."
Bouffier was diagnosed with cancer in early 2019.
After outpatient radiation therapy with subsequent rehabilitation, the disease is currently considered defeated.
The Prime Minister emphasized that he was very happy that he was doing well again.
