(CNN) -- Spanish golf legend Seve Ballesteros has began a course of chemotherapy as he continues his recovery from a brain tumor.
Ballesteros has begun his first course of chemotherapy aftyer returning to his home in northern Spain.
Ballesteros has now returned to his home in northern Spain from Madrid, where he was released from hospital on December 9.
"Today is Friday, and I have started me first chemotherapy session," said Ballesteros in a statement on his Web site.
"At this point, my thought is to rest and follow the neurosurgeon doctors Heredero, Isla and Perez Alvarez's indications -- as well as the oncologist doctor Cristobel Belda's advice."
Ballesteros, a five-time major winner, was admitted to hospital in October after collapsing. The 51-year-old was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent a lengthy operation on October 24 to reduce pressure on his brain and to remove some remaining tumor tissues following his two previous operations.
On November 18 he had recovered sufficiently to leave intensive care but was readmitted a fortnight later for further surgery.
