Former world number one tennis player Martina Navratilova said on Monday she has been diagnosed with throat and breast cancer.
The Czech–American is considered among one the greatest players of all time, winning a total of 59 Grand Slam titles across singles and doubles."I'm hoping for a favourable outcome. It's going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all I have got."
Navratilova added that the cancer was in Stage 1, and the prognosis are good, with treatments to begin next week. "Martina noticed an enlarged lymph node in her neck during the WTA finals in Forth Worth," said Navratilova's representative Mary Greenham. "When it didn't do down, a biopsy was performed, the results came back as Stage 1 throat cancer.
