Hugo Chavez to return to Cuba to continue medical treatment
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will return to Cuba to continue medical treatment, the country’s top legislator said on Tuesday. Since June 2011 Chavez has had three operations in Cuba to treat an undisclosed type of cancer in his pelvic region, the France 24 reports.
Following a nearly two-week absence from the public eye, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will travel to Cuba on Tuesday for medical treatment, months after he underwent chemotherapy and radiation for cancer there.
Chavez, 58, staged what appeared to be a remarkable comeback from an undisclosed type of cancer diagnosed in June 2011, and traveled frequently to Cuba for chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the subsequent months.
