An operation on Terry Jones for colon cancer has gone "very well" according to the Monty Python star's agent.
"Terry's doctors are very cheered with an early diagnosis of possible colon cancer for which he has now had routine surgery in a London private hospital," Jodi Shields told reporters today.
The 64-year-old founder member of the comedy troupe is said to be "in good spirits" and planning to convalesce for several weeks before returning to public engagements. Last Wednesday Jones joined the surviving Pythons, minus John Cleese, to celebrate the London opening of Eric Idle's new musical Spamalot.
