Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy have been told the good news that her breast cancer has not spread to her lymph nodes.
The world number two, who missed his first Open since 1993 to be with his wife, said on his website that the news “improves our chances of beating this in the short and long term.
“We’re awaiting one test result that will influence Amy’s treatment plan. The waiting and wondering sometimes can be the most difficult part, but she has a very positive attitude and has handled all of this with her usual grace. I’m so proud of her.
“The kids were in Houston all week and I know that helped speed up her emotional recovery. They bring her endless joy.
“We continue to be overwhelmed with the support of our extended group of friends and family as well. The prayers, notes, articles, e-mails, texts and packages get us through every day.
“We feel the support all around us. Our gratitude is hard to put into words.”
Mickelson’s mother is also undergoing cancer treatment. After surgery the family are awaiting pathology results.
“We are all optimistic. It meant so much to me and Amy to be there with her,” he stated.
