MADRID, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros appears to be on the mend following his latest brain cancer surgery, doctors say.

The physicians said Ballesteros is responding to treatment after his third operation, El Pais newspaper reported Wednesday.

Doctors at La Paz hospital in Madrid had performed two other surgeries on a cancerous brain tumor since Ballesteros collapsed Oct. 6 at a local airport.

In a statement, the hospital said the tumor affects cells that cover and protect nervous system cells in the brain and spinal cord, and is in a hard to reach location.
