(Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez will travel to Brazil for a regional summit at the end of this week despite cancer-related medical treatment in Cuba, Brazil's ambassador said on Monday.
If confirmed, the 58-year-old Chavez's presence at the Mercosur trade bloc meeting would indicate his latest health scare is not as bad as some are speculating.
Venezuelan officials would not immediately confirm the ambassador's statement. Chavez was in Cuba on Monday and it was unknown if he would return home first if he should decide to go on to Brazil.
Having won re-election in October for a new six-year term, Chavez has made scant appearances since then and not been seen in public since November 15.

I'll bet they have champagne stockpiled for the celebration in case he dies. I don't call them "Rotters" for nothing.
