Venezuela's President Chavez on wheelchair due to femur fracture: Report
[Iran Press TV] A Venezuelan journalist says His Excellency President-for-Life, Caudillo of the Bolivarians Hugo Chavez has been forced to use a wheelchair due to severe pain caused by a fracture in his femur and his spreading cancer.
The pro-opposition Venezuelan columnist and radio talk-show host, Nelson Bocaranda, reported this week that Chavez got a fracture in his femur during his radiotherapy in Cuba.
Bone metastasis. That weakened the bone. Weaker still with radiation. It happens. Hurts like hell... | Spending most of the last six weeks in the Cuban capital of Havana for radiotherapy treatment, Chavez has only been seen live in public once since mid-April.
"Everyone around him knows that tough times are coming," said Bocaranda.
US-based Venezuelan Doctor Jose Marquina, who reportedly has access to Chavez's medical records, has also claimed that Chavez's "incurable disease is a very aggressive cancer that is progressing very quickly."
