as begun radiation therapy in Cuba as part of cancer treatment one month after undergoing an operation that removed a tumor. Chavez said in a phone call broadcast live on Venezuelan television that he had his first radiation session after he arrived late Saturday. He said that would be the first of five daily treatments and that he expects to be back in Venezuela for a three-day break starting Thursday, before returning to Cuba for the next five-day round. Chavez will be in Cuba at the same time as Pope Benedict XVI, who arrives on the island on Monday after a visit to Mexico,toms the shoes. Chavez didn't refer to the pope's visit to Havana, but he did say he views his own Christian faith and prayer as providing strength in his struggle against cancer. "In reality, part of the treatment is prayer, faith faith in God, in our God, in our Christ the redeemer," Chavez said. "It's part of my job to assume with rigor this task of fighting to overcome the difficulties, and to continue living." Chavez has frequently clashed with Roman Catholic leaders in Venezuela, but he has often expressed faith in God and has said he views Jesus' principles as having been essentially socialist. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, was asked Sunday about reports the pope might meet with Chavez while in Cuba. Lombardi said that as of Sunday morning, there were no such plans.

The president said he plans to keep on top of government business as he comes and goes from Cuba for the treatments. "I'm well, thanks to God," Chavez said, adding that he had been out for a walk in the sun in Havana. Chavez has been recovering from a Feb. 26 surgery in Havana that he said removed a tumor from the same spot in his pelvic region where another tumor was extracted eight months earlier. On Saturday night, Chavez was met by Cuban President Raul Castro as he arrived at Havana's airport. Venezuelan television showed Chavez saluting as he stepped off the plane holding hands with one of his daughters, and then embracing Castro,cheap toms. In Venezuela, some of Chavez's aides led his supporters in a prayer for his health Sunday morning outside the cathedral in the southwestern city of San Cristobal, and then the crowd began a pilgrimage on foot to another church. "He's a man with an iron will," Youth Minister Mari Pili Hernandez told a crowd of supporters during the walk. "We give thanks to God for our commander's health, for him to take care of (Chavez) for us, protect him, give him a lot of strength." After he was diagnosed with cancer in Cuba last year, Chavez underwent an initial surgery in June to remove a tumor that he said was the size of a baseball.
