He gets superb care. He expressed faith for a full recovery many times. Venezuelans are justifiably concerned. 

On December 9, thousands massed in Caracas supportively. They displayed flags, banners, and photos of a smiling Chavez. They're hopeful he'll return healthy. His new six-year term begins January 10.

One supporter spoke for others, saying:

"I love Chavez, and I'm worried. We don't know what's going to happen, but I trust that the revolution is going to continue on no matter what happens."

On Monday, the Havana Times headlined "Chavez Arrives in Cuba for New Cancer Operation," saying:

It'll be his fourth in 18 months. Some supporters fear he's deteriorating. Official information about where his surgery will be conducted wasn't announced. 

It's assumed to be at Havana's Medical Surgical Research Center (CIMEQ). It's Cuba's best equipped hospital. It provides world-class treatment. It's located west of the capital.

Under Venezuelan constitutional law, Article 233 states:

"The President of the Republic shall become permanently unavailable to serve by reason of any of the following events: death; resignation; removal from office by decision of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice; permanent physical or mental disability certified by a medical board designated by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice with the approval of the National Assembly; abandonment of his position".and by recall by popular vote."
