Seve Ballesteros has started chemotherapy treatment after a long period in La Paz hospital recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumour.
The golf legend has returned to his home in Predena, Northern Spain, to start the treatment and is not expected to give a further update until January.
Ballesteros, 51, was released from hospital on 9th December having undergone four separate operations, including surgery to release a worryingly high level of pressure caused by fluid on the brain following the initial tumour removal.
Seve, as he is affectionately known, said on his website recently: "I have started my first chemotherapy session. At this point, my thought is to rest and follow the neurosurgeons."
The tumour was subsequently removed on 24th October, after which Ballesteros showed positive signs of a recovery, and he was released on 9th December.
