Outlook for Chavez Darkens, Doctors Say
2012-12-15
[Online.WSJ] Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's cancer is most likely terminal given the disease's recurrences, and while the president may bounce back for periods, his health is increasingly at risk, say several leading cancer specialists not involved in the treatment.
I've always thought "mets" was synonymous with "goner."
Mr. Chavez is recovering from surgery in Cuba this week after the president said malignant cells reappeared for a third time in his abdomen. Venezuela's government hasn't disclosed what type of cancer he has or what the surgery was for. But it has described the more than six-hour operation as "complex and delicate" and said Mr. Chavez might not be back in Caracas in time for his Jan. 10 inauguration for a new term after 14 years in power.

#12  Hell that SOB is gonna be back in time for the January 10th inauguration, he's crazy perverse. It will be fun to see if it's televised tho. And I will note his days of 7 hour Cadenas are over.

#7  Hugo should be comforted that he will pass on, leaving a legacy.......not a good one, but still a legacy.

#3  I think Ship noted that Simon Bolivar pegged out on a Dec 17th. I've got the 17th for when they announce Hoogo went out as well. He's prolly already dead
