too bad he didn't last another year or so suffering in agony, cause he didn't suffer nearly as much as he should have...
During two initial operations in mid-2011, Chavez had a tumor removed from his intestines, and was diagnosed with sarcoma in the psoas muscle that runs from the lower part of the vertebral column to the pelvis, a medical source said.
Are there any FR MDs here who could share their knowledge with us about this type of cancer, how dangerous it usually is, and how it should be treated? My thanks to you in advance.
And here I felt good about his passing. Then I read terrible things about how he suffered, and I felt...

*even better!*
Not an MD but I would say if cancer has spread like that, you are probably done.
He died hard!!! He thought he was invincible and would go on about the 15 cups of black Venezuelan coffee he drank each day and the coco leaves he chewed the way the Indians do down there. Ahmadinejad claims Chavez will come riding back into town with the twelfth Imam. Loony toon 3rd worlders gotta stick together!
—yeah—curious about how the Cuban treatment would compare to anywhere else -—
I could care less about what this POS went through. Both my parents and a sister died of cancer. This a-hole lived longer after being diagnosed than any of them.
Another democrat dies.....
...yawn.
I guess that billion dollars he stole from the people he was claiming to help didn’t do him much good toward the end.
I will not regale in the suffering or death of ANY human being.
Prayers for his soul and for those of his family and friends.
Hard to believe that the wonderful Cuban health care didn’t cure his sorry ass.....
If indeed Chavez had a type of sarcoma of or involving the psoas muscle here is a brief medical abstract on the topic...

too bad he didn't last another year or so suffering in agony, cause he didn't suffer nearly as much as he should have...No tyrant should ever be allowed to die of natural causes.
Isn’t the passing of a tyrant an example of God’s mercy toward men?
I’m not an MD, but it doesn’t sound good.
Never understood why he went to Cuba for treatment. Even if he didn’t want to go to a US friendly country, looks like there would have been better cancer treatment available in several South American nations than in Cuba.
Guess it was one of the ultimate political statements.
My husband died of advanced prostate cancer after 5 years of being diagnosed and going through radiation and then chemo and every treatment we could find. The cancer spread to his pelvic bone/spine connection and caused him the greatest pain in the latter part of his days.
Only mentioning this because it sounds as if Chavez may have had the same problems.
Husband was convinced Dendretic treatment would cure him but only available in clinical trials to certain folks.
