The cancellation, which wasn¿t rescheduled, for her appointment with the oncologist caused Asunción Valerón to write a Whatsapp message speaking out against what happened. This text went viral, reaching millions of people's telephones in the Canary Islands. Her viral text exposed the deficiencies in the oncology department at University Hospital of Gran Canaria Dr. Negrin, where there should be 7 oncologists, but there are only 3.
