Subject: Golfer Seve Ballesteros condition worsens after brain tumour operation

Written By: Philip Eno on 10/16/08 at 9:09 am

From BBC Sport

Golf legend Seve Ballesteros suffered a complication following surgery on a brain tumour on Tuesday but remains in a stable condition.

Doctors removed a piece of Ballesteros's skull on Thursday to relieve pressure that was building up on the brain after Tuesday's surgery.

A statement from La Paz Hospital in Madrid said: "His situation is stable and is under control."

The Spaniard, 51, collapsed at Madrid Airport on 6 October.

He underwent a number of tests over the weekend which uncovered the tumour and after informing his family, Ballesteros confirmed the news in a statement on Sunday.

A biopsy on the tumour had been scheduled for Tuesday but doctors decided to operate to remove as much of the tumour as possible before treatment.

Ewww, that doesn't sound good.  Puts me in mind of Ted Kennedy, I wonder how he is doing right now.  I think he is hanging in there just to see how the election comes out, I don't think he will make the new year.

Hearing the news shocked me and knowing that it is the kind of news I did not want to hear.
