But the financial climate in Brasil is now somewhat deifferent and Rousseff is doing OK.

Why would anyone in their right mind want the stress of presiding over any country, even Brasil, when they have been 'cured' of cancer. Being cured usually is only announced after five years free of cancer. I hope he listens to hid doctors for his own sake.
