According to The Daily Mail, the aggressive cancer has spread to his bones, and he is suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy.
Despite his life threatening illness, Chavez is seeking re-election for a third time and registered his candidacy last Friday at the National Electoral Council.
Sources within the president's medical team doubt if he will live to see the results on October 7.
The medical report also reveals that Chavez is suffering from rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancerous tumour of the muscles attached to the bones, with metastasis.
The dire prediction come weeks after Chavez said he was making 'progressive recovery' after undergoing cancer treatment in Cuba.
