Tennis legend Martina Navratilova revealed she has been diagnosed with throat and breast cancer. 'It’s going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all I have got,' she said.
"This double whammy is serious but still fixable," the tennis great told the outlet. "I’m hoping for a favorable outcome. It’s going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all I have got."
A spokesman for Navratilova told The Times that "both these cancers are in early stage with great outcomes." She’s not expected to travel for the Australian Open as her treatment is reportedly set to begin treatment for the cancers later this month.Experimental cancer vaccine shows promising results in animal study
