He was last treated in Cuba six months ago. He received excellent care. He's "taking care of (his) health." He's "complying with the complementary treatment plan coordinated by the medical team which is supporting" him.
Since 2011, he had three surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Last July, he said he's cancer free. At the same time, recuperating from chemotherapy and radiation treatment takes time.
On November 28, he arrived in Cuba. On November 15, he said:
"Six months after I completed the last radiation therapy treatment, It has been recommended that I begin a special treatment consisting of various sessions of hyperbaric oxygenation. Together with physical therapy, (this) will consolidate the process of strengthening my health."
Media scoundrels look for excuses to criticize him. They make stuff up doing it. They claim he's hiding the real state of his health. They misreported throughout the presidential campaign on that and much more.
They vilify him anyway they can. Since taking office in February 1999, Venezuelans supported him overwhelmingly. It's because Bolivarianism serves everyone responsibly.
It's about not wanting to go back to the bad old days. It's about assuring it doesn't happen. Venezuelans believe Chavez is their best chance. He proved it with equitable social policies. They're too important to lose.
