President David Granger is today scheduled to return to Cuba to continue medical treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, according to a brief statement from the Ministry of the Presidency yesterday.
Thus far, the Cuban Medical Team assigned to President Granger has said that the President’s progress has exceeded their expectations, the statement said. Today’s trip should mark the fifth round of chemotherapy for the President after he was diagnosed with cancer in Cuba last year.
On January 15 this year, Granger went to Cuba for the fourth round of chemotherapy.
On December 4th, 2018, the Ministry of the Presidency said that the President’s regimen of chemotherapy goes all the way up to May this year. He is being treated at the Centro de Investigaciones Médico Quirúrgicas.
President Granger and First Lady Sandra Granger had journeyed to Cuba on October 30, 2018 for the President’s medical investigation. After an intensive series of tests by specialist doctors, he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The President and his wife returned to Guyana from Cuba on November 20, 2018 after a number of medical interventions including the first round of chemotherapy treatment were performed.
