What exactly is oligoastrocytoma? It's a form of cancer which affects the cells that and protect the nervous system cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Unfortunately it's a serious cancer in and of itself located in a very delicate area of the brain.
That's not good news for Severiano Ballesteros. He underwent two previous surgeries to remove the tumor and relieve pressure. He's still in serious condition and facing additional surgery in a day or two.
Severiano Ballesteros is a professional golf from Spain. He's the all-time leader for wins on the European Golf our with 50 and has totaled 87 career wins worldwide. He has also accumulated a 20-12-5 record in eight Ryder Cup appearances, and was the captain for the victorious European Ryder Cup squad at Valderrama in 1997.
