My Comment: For someone who claimed that he was cured last year .... this does not look good. In his second cancer operation he was treated by Russian doctors in Havana .... and not surprisingly, Russia has already reporting that his cancer is terminal.
But what am I curious about is .... will Hugo Chavez ask for an audience with the Pope when he is there.
