President Hugo Chavez left Venezuela today to continue radiation therapy in Cuba as part of treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer, six months before seeking re-election.
Chavez, who spoke earlier in a nationwide broadcast from the presidential palace in Caracas, said that this will be the second of five radiation sessions in an attempt to prevent cancerous tumors from returning. He returned to Caracas from his first session in Cuba on March 29.
