MELBOURNE wishes to provide the following update regarding president Jim Stynes.
 
On Wednesday, Jim underwent explorative surgery for a tumour in his stomach.

Jim is now recovering well from the surgery and is expected to leave hospital sometime in the next week.

Doctors determined the best course of action was not to remove the tumour and to consider other treatment options.

Jim said, “It has been a tough couple of months and I would like to thank everyone for their continued support.”
