His Former Doctor: Venezuela’s Chavez Has Less Than Two Years To Live

Hugo Chavez’s former doctor says his prognosis is not good.

Chavez, 57, has been through four rounds of chemotherapy in Cuba since revealing he had a cancerous tumor removed in June. But Venezuela has provided few details about the exact nature of the cancer, aside from that it was in the pelvic area.

Salvador Navarrete, his former personal surgeon, told Mexican newspaper Milenio Semanal on Sunday that the leader’s condition likely was worse than publicly admitted.

The doctor described the prognosis as “not good.” He added, “When I say this, I mean that he has no more than two years to live.”
