Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez returned home from Havana late Friday, declaring success in his fight against cancer after he received what was supposed to be his last session of radiation therapy.
"I have to tell you that in recent days we have successfully concluded this course of radiation therapy," the Venezuelan leader told local television upon his arrival at Maiquetia Airport.
Chavez, 57, has undergone surgery twice in the past year to remove cancerous tumors, and has had chemotherapy followed by radiation treatments to try to rid himself of the cancer.
