Seve Ballesteros has revealed he feels better "day after day" as he prepares for a second course of chemotherapy.
Ballesteros underwent four operations to remove a brain tumour after being admitted to hospital in October last year when he fainted at Madrid airport.
The five-time major winner had tests at La Paz Hospital last week to check on the progress of his recovery.
"Fortunately the results were quite good," Ballesteros said today in a statement on his personal website.
"This Friday I shall begin my second chemotherapy course, which I hope and wish will be as effective as the first one.
"I am very motivated and working hard, although I am aware that my recovery will be slow and therefore I need to be patient and have a lot of determination.
"For these reasons I am following strictly all the indications that the doctors are giving me.
"Besides, the physiotherapists are doing a great job on me as I feel better day after day."
Ballesteros said he continues to receive hundreds of messages of support from people and added: "I want to take this opportunity to thank them for their support and energy that is coming to me from all over the world and which is proving so good."
