Enrique underwent a nine-hour operation in Spain last June.
The former left-back, now working as an agent, posted a host of pictures on social media to keep fans updated on his progress.
The set of pictures included him undergoing proton therapy which helps to destroy the cancerous cells as he fights to recover from the rare condition.
Enrique also shared an inspirational message to his 274,000 followers on Instagram.
