Chavez in Cuba for radiation therapy

Chavez was welcomed by President Raul Castro at Havana’s international airport, the state newspaper Juventud Rebelde said.

The 57-year-old president spent time with family members in his native state of Barinas in the west of the country between courses of radiation treatment.

Chavez, who is challenging for another presidential term this year, is expected to undergo five weeks of radiation treatment in Havana.

However, he has planned to return Venezuela for brief periods during that time.

He underwent the first two rounds of treatment in Havana, where he underwent surgery last month to take out a malignant tumor in the same area where another tumor was removed in June 2011.
