Chavez Praises Health After Chemo Treatment CUBA, August 16, 2011.- President Hugo Chávez returned Sunday to Caracas after successfully concluding his second round of chemotherapy in Havana. The Venezuelan Head of State said he was feeling well while emphasizing that a third stage of chemo will depend on his evolution. “We’re still not sure if I’ll have to go for a third (round of chemotherapy). That depends on the evaluations of the process and the evolution over these current days,” Chavez told state-owned VTV by telephone. "I was more affected by the first session of the therapy than by the second one," Chavez said, adding that he now has a good appetite. The president underwent a surgery in Cuba to remove a cancerous tumor in his pelvic area in June and received the first phase of chemotherapy in mid-July. (Cubaminrex-RHC)
