Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he's cancer free
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says he's cancer free
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) – President Hugo Chavez said Monday he's completely free of cancer and assured Venezuelans that physical limitations stemming from his recuperation will not affect his re-election campaign.
Speaking at a news conference, Chavez said he's "totally free" of cancer and plans to begin actively campaigning soon following months of radiation treatment, physical rehabilitation and medical exams.
"I feel in better physical condition every day," he said.
Over the past 13 months, Chavez has undergone two surgeries that removed tumors from his pelvic region, most recently in February.
