Starting to take off as the condor! Chavez writes He is "in good physical condition," a presidential statement says (CNN) -- President Hugo Chavez has used the social media to greet his fellow Venezuelans for the first time since he underwent an operation Monday in Cuba to remove a tumor from his abdomen. Good evening, my dear fellow! Here I go, starting to take off as the condor! I send you all my supreme love! We will live and we shall overcome! Chavez wrote on his Twitter account Wednesday night. Later in the evening, Chavez posted several tweets about television programs he was enjoying. According to the vice president of Venezuela, Elias Jaua, a lesion was successfully removed from the same area where doctors removed a cancerous tumor last year. He was listed "in good physical condition" after the pelvic lesion and surrounding tissues were removed, according to a presidential statement. There were no complications to nearby organs, it said. The 57-year-old Venezuelan leader told state media in a phone interview on last month that there was a high likelihood that the lesion was cancerous. Last June, Chavez said doctors in Cuba had removed a cancerous tumor but did not specify the type of cancer. He announced in October that the treatment had cured him.
