[Former U.S. Ambassador] Noriega: Chávez cancer progressing faster than expected
Miami Herald ^ | 11/09/2011 | Antonio Maria Delgado

President Hugo Chávez’s cancer is spreading faster than expected and his doctors fear that he may have only a few months left to live, a former U.S. government official said Wednesday, citing sources inside the Venezuelan government.

“The international team of doctors in charge of treating Hugo Chávez’s cancer does not expect him to live more than six months,” said Roger Noriega, former U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States.

Noriega’s opinion came in a column titled “Hugo Chávez’s Big Lie and Washington’s Apathy,” published on the Internet portal of Inter-American Security Watch.

“Sources who have given me privileged information and documents from inside the Venezuelan government indicate that Chávez’s cancer is spreading faster than expected and could kill him before the presidential elections in October 2012,” added Noriega, who was also undersecretary of State for Hemispheric Affairs in the Bush administration.

It further says that Chavez only wants low doses of chemo so he can continue working, something his doctors say is suicidal. Also, the cancer has metastized to the bones and that isn't even being treated.

What about the “best cancer treatment in the world” that he got in Cuba?

Looks like Hugo is well on his way to a good whiff of sulfur.

Hugo Chávez is still alive?

He may soon learn what the odor of burning sulfur REALLY smells like.

And Bush won’t even be in the room.

Send him to Libya.

Yeah, this can’t be right. He had the world’s best medical care. Ask Michael Moore.

HUGO is the poster child for Cuban medicine. And President ZERO wants the USA to emulate it.

I think he really will be smelling sulfur at his next major engagement, and Diablo will have a place all prepared for him.

Even a dictator can’t cheat death. It’s important to keep things in perspective in life.

I used to watch moths fly into the back porch light and think how terrible it was that they went through metamorphosis only to be able to live and fly for such a short time. Now I understand that we are not much different in terms of the time we have. Important not to waste it.
