"Russell Watson has started a five-week course of radiotherapy at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. The opera singer&amp;#039;s manager has warned that he risks damaging his eyesight with the treatment, which is aiming to eradicate a brain tumour that struck Watson down in 2007. He told the Daily Star: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s in as good as spirits as anybody can be with that kind of journey ahead.  &amp;quot;The doctors are very cautious - they want to get to it but because it&amp;#039;s near the optic nerve, they&amp;#039;ve got to be careful not to damage the eyesight. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a very arduous five-week period that the doctors hope will give him closure.&amp;quot; Speaking outside the hospital, Watson commented: &amp;quot;My throat feels ok. I feel a little bit tired.  &amp;quot;It takes a while to get your energy and stamina levels up again. It&amp;#039;s been a strange new year, 2008, in for my radiotherapy on January 2.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
