Chavez resumes Cuba radiation treatment
2012-08-02
[Bangla Daily Star] Venezuelan His Excellency President-for-Life, Caudillo of the Bolivarians Hugo Chavez left for Cuba late Saturday to undergo a second round of radiation therapy as part of his back-and-forth cancer treatment in Havana.
Yep. Has it under control...
State-controlled television showed the president boarding a plane at Maiquetia Airport accompanied by his daughter Maria Virginia and one of his grandchildren.

Vice President Elias Jaua and other top government officials bid Chavez farewell at the airport.

"There are five sessions of radiotherapy... for five consecutive days, then two days of rest... Chavez said before leaving the Miraflores Palace. "With this I have faith that (the cancer) inside my body will not return."
Oh, yeah. Count on it.

#10  SERIOUSLY, though, I'm wondering... why is he going back to Cuba for more radiation therapy IF he's cancer-free, as was reported a week ago?

Get well soon. (Especially before Obamacare rationing kicks in.)

#3  Just how much radiation has Chavez actually had?

I've been enduring (so far sucessfully) esophageal cancer and my radiation oncologist says the 25 sessions he prescribed are the limit.

(surgery in another week, and then 2 more rounds of chemo. sorry to digress)

#1  If your country's medical system is supposed to so socialist good, why are you going to Cuba for treatment? Afraid to be put under sedation by people from your own country? (Expect American Presidents and Politicians to do likewise come 2016 when our healthcare system is in ruins here too.)
