VENEZUELA'S ailing President Hugo Chavez has been undergoing "tougher" new treatment for cancer, including chemotherapy, at the military hospital where he has been for the past two weeks, his vice-president said.
Speaking late on Friday after a Catholic Mass to pray for Chavez's health, Maduro described how the socialist president had personally given the order to leave Cuba in mid-February, two months after his latest cancer surgery there. "He said 'I've taken the decision to return to Venezuela, I'm going to enter a new phase of complementary treatments, tougher and more intense, I want to be in Caracas,'" Maduro said.
