Brazil's Lula discharged from hospital

After chemotherapy:

BRAZIL: Brazil's former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was discharged from hospital here Tuesday after undergoing chemotherapy for larynx cancer, a hospital statement said.

"The patient completed the first session of chemotherapy without complications and today had (additional) exams" and tomography, said Sirio-Libanes Hospital where the popular ex-metalworker and labor activist was admitted Saturday.

"I am prepared to face another battle and I believe we will succeed. We only need to follow the medical recommendations," a visibly weakened Lula said in a video released by the Citizenship Institute that he created after leaving office. AFP
