Almost one year after being diagnosed with cancer, President David Granger is said to be in remission.
This was announced by Ambassador of Guyana to Cuba, Halim Majeed following the Head of State’s most recent visit to that country for a medical check-up at the Centre for Medical, Surgical Research (CIMEQ).
President Granger returned to Guyana Tuesday night, having completed a medical evaluation over the past few days.
The medical specialists have expressed complete satisfaction with the state of the President’s health.
They have also explained that his ailment is now in remission.
In complete remission, all signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared, although cancer still may be in the body.
Granger was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of cancer that develops in a network of vessels and glands spread throughout the body. The announcement was made on November 14, 2018.
In keeping with strict medical procedures of the Cuban health system, President Granger is expected to return for another scheduled routine medical check in January 2020.
Thereafter, the next evaluation will be in June 2020.
Meanwhile, Granger has iterated his gratitude to Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, the Government of Cuba, and the CIMEQ medical team which has been responsible for his treatment in Cuba, over the past months.
