Spanish golfer, Severiano Ballesteros has told members of the press that he is about to start his fourth session of chemotherapy and that he will soon provide a 'written press release' about his health.

Yesterday, via a message on his webpage, Ballesteros let fans know that 'after three chemotherapy sessions, my latest blood analyses show that I am ready for the fourth session'.

This next chemotherapy session is part of the ongoing treatment Ballesteros is receiving for the brain tumour he was diagnosed with in October of last year and for which he has already been operated on several times.

'I remain in good spirits,' confirmed Seve, who told the press in February that the initial medical examintations were 'positive' and that was tolerating the chemotherapy 'very well'.

The popular Spanish golfer took the opportunity to once again thank his fans and well-wishers for all the 'concern and support' they have shown him since his illness was first announced.
