The EFE news agency reported Sunday that the doctor Salvador Navarrete, who was part of the group that attended President Hugo Chavez said that the president has a "pelvic tumor," which is "very aggressive", so that his "expectation of life can be up to two years, "according to statements published in the Mexican weekly" Millennium ".
"The information I have of the family is that he has a sarcoma, a tumor with a poor prognosis and I'm pretty sure that's the reality," said the doctor.
Navarrete said to be the surgeon and the Chavez family, meeting with other doctors, reached the same diagnosis.
This surgeon states that joined the team of three Venezuelan doctors who cared for several years the health of Chavez at the Miraflores Palace before being diagnosed with cancer and was treated by Cuban doctors.
Chavez reiterated that suffers from a cancer called Kaposi pelvis and ruled that the case of a prostate. "So you are receiving chemotherapy as aggressive, because if you put prostate cancer and hormones, and you realize that you are taking treatment," he said.
"And when I say the prognosis is not good means that life expectancy can be up to two years. This explains the decision to hold early elections," Navarrete said to "Millennium."
On why the president decided to put in the hands of Cuban doctors, the surgeon Navarrete said: "In Venezuela, President Chavez does not trust anyone, only Cubans. This attitude, according to the doctor, took Chavez after the coup against him. Since then, "abandoned all Venezuelan doctors and put in the hands of the Cuban doctors."
Chavez said he "thought it was not going to get sick before," and highlighted the level of stress they are subjected to all the leaders.
. "To run for the presidency of a country must have a different emotional condition to most people, because you have a lot of ambition and bellows to take away much of the way so many people and can get to the seizure of power and preserve it. That sets up a mental and emotional state very particular, "said the doctor.
Globovision reported Salvador Navarrete to your doctor, but he said he will not comment further on the subject.
