Tennis star Martina diagnosed with throat cancer, breast cancer reemerges
Because of the diagnoses, the former professional athlete will not cover the Australian Open in the studio for Tennis Channel, but she remains optimistic that she will be able to join by video from time to time.“This double whammy is serious but still fixable, and I’m hoping for a favorable outcome,” Navratilova said in a statement. “It’s going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all I have got.
The tennis legend was previously diagnosed with an unrelated form of breast cancer in 2010. After a lumpectomy and six weeks of radiation, she was deemed cancer-free. The recently discovered throat cancer is type HPV, which is very responsive to treatment.
