Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez is set to be discharged on Saturday following cancer surgery.

58-years-old Fernandez had surgery on Wednesday to remove her cancerous thyroid gland. Her spokesperson says the president had slept and eaten well.

She was diagnosed with the cancer shortly after beginning her second four-year term as Argentina's leader last month.

A helicopter is on hospital grounds ready to transport Fernandez to the presidential residence on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
