The WSJ reports that a Brasilian doctor in La Habana for a cancer consult claims Chavez is suffering from advanced prostate cancer.
The WSJ previously quoted experts who speculated that he had stomach cancer.
Pancreatic and colon cancers have also been postulated by others.
He reports that he has lost 14 kg...and is now at his "ideal" weight of 89 kg/189lbs...as he begins his second round of chemo in Cuba.
