Seve Ballesteros will undergo a fourth round of chemotherapy following the brain surgery he underwent last year to remove a brain tumour, the Spanish golf star announced on his website on Thursday.
The 51-year-old, a five-time major winner, has undergone four operations since cancer was discovered in October last year, and now he is ready to take more treatment.
"Also, I want you to know that my spirits are still high. Furthermore, I would like to inform you that soon I will do my first press statements in the written media."
Ballesteros was diagnosed with a brain tumour after losing consciousness at Madrid airport on October 6.
He has called his battle against the tumour the "hardest challenge of my life."
Regarded as one of golf's all-time greats, Ballesteros won five majors during his stellar career.
He won the British Open in 1979, 1984 and 1988 and became the first European to win the Augusta Masters in 1980, an achievement he repeated in 1983.
Ballesteros was also an influential figure in the Ryder Cup, winning 20 points from 37 matches and captaining Europe to victory over the United States at Valderrama in 1997.
