Venezuela's Chavez expects chemo or radiation

Nearly two weeks after announcing he has cancer, President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday described a baseball-sized tumor that was removed in surgery and a prognosis that includes chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Chavez provided his most extensive account to date of his illness, suggesting that difficult months may lie ahead as he anticipates physically taxing treatments while also remaining in the presidency. It was the first time he has referred to expecting chemotherapy or radiation treatment following the June 20 surgery in Cuba. (AP)
