President David Granger will undergo further treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma when he returns to Cuba next week, according to Minister of State Joseph Harmon, who yesterday said Cabinet has not discussed the possibility of him not being able to continue occupying office.
“The analysis that we have is that the president’s condition is completely treatable and that as he receives his treatment, that his condition will get better and better. That is how we work. That is the analysis that we have and that is what we are working on and, therefore, the question of any other issue does not arise at this time,” Harmon said when asked whether Cabinet has started a discussion on what will happen if the president cannot continue to perform his duties. Last month, Granger, 73, in the company of First Lady Sandra Granger, returned home from Havana, where he began treatment after a medical investigation there eventually led to a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
