“This double whammy is serious but still fixable,” the retired player, 66, said in a statement. “I’m hoping for a favourable outcome. It’s going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all have I got.”
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has revealed she has been diagnosed with both Stage 1 throat cancer and breast cancer.
Her achievements were due to be recognised at last year’s Wimbledon, as part of the tournament’s 100th anniversary celebrations, but a positive Covid test forced her to drop out. Her agent Mary Greenham said that both cancers have a “good” prognosis and that Navratilova hopes to continue to contribute to the Tennis Channel remotely from her home in Miami as she recovers.
“Martina noticed an enlarged lymph node in her neck during the WTA finals in Forth Worth,” she added. “When it didn’t do down, a biopsy was performed, the results came back as Stage 1 throat cancer.
