Ballesteros speaks publicly about fight with cancer
MADRID: An emotional Seve Ballesteros has spoken publicly for the first time about his fight against a cancerous brain tumour.
The 51-year-old Ballesteros looked frail and thin in photos published by Spanish sports daily Marca yesterday along with the golf great’s first interview since his diagnosis nearly six months ago.
Ballesteros says his battle against cancer is “the most important shot of my life” and that “life has given me a second chance.”
Ballesteros fainted on an escalator at Madrid’s International airport on Oct 5 and was diagnosed with a brain tumour. On Saturday, he began his fourth round of chemotherapy since undergoing four separate surgeries. — AP
