VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT HUGO Chavez has asked legislators for permission to return to Cuba to undergo a second round of chemotherapy for his cancer.
In June, he underwent surgery in Cuba for a tumour in his pelvic region, but he has not said what kind of cancer was found.
Earlier this week he appeared on Venezuelan television with his head shaved.
The National Assembly’s secretariat is to hold a special session today to vote on him leaving.
Chavez (57) said he would undergo medical tests in Cuba tomorrow and Monday and there was “no complication in the process”.
Although he admitted he would have to lower his public profile a little, Chavez said he had no plans to withdraw from the public eye while undergoing chemotherapy.
In fact, he has been very active on Twitter, which has enabled him to govern remotely while undergoing treatment.

Motion capture can only do so much. The raw data still needs cleanup, with a lot of it probably getting thrown out by the animator. I’m pretty sure Pixar used key frame animation for their shots with their lamp Luxo Jr. Animating convincingly in 2D or 3D is very difficult to learn.
I dunno how ‘…you make an inanimate object move like a human…’.
I’ll phone Enda’s handler and ask.
Durh, with a computie.
