Tennis legend Martina Navratilova said Monday she has been diagnosed with both Stage 1 throat cancer and breast cancer.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova said Monday she has been diagnosed with both throat cancer and breast cancer.
“This double whammy is serious but still fixable,” said the 66-year-old in a statement. “I’m hoping for a favorable outcome. It’s going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all have I got.”
Navratilova’s fighting spirit is well-documented; she won a total of 59 Grand Slam titles -- in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. And she’s already beaten cancer once before.
After discovering an enlarged lymph node in her neck during the WTA Finals in Fort Worth back in November, she underwent testing. That was when doctors discovered Stage 1 throat cancer and later Stage 1 breast cancer. Specifically, it is human papillomavirus (HPV), one of the more treatable cancers
Navratilova won’t be working the upcoming Australian Open for Tennis Channel, but hopes to arrange some Zoom appearances in the near future.
In 2010, at the age of 53, when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, she cried for “about 15 seconds” and then asked her doctor, “OK, what do we do? What’s the next step?”
This time, the prognosis is said to be good and her treatments begin next week, primarily in New York City.
That thought was my first as well.
You might be an it. She’s definitely not.
I’m not sure.. just know that ‘stage 1’ means in part that the cancer hasn’t metastasized...
Billie Jean King VS Bobby Riggs, 1973...............

Exactly, and that was my point.
I was cut from my high school basketball team. (played CYO instead)
Anyway, I wound up D’ing up a NCAA Womens basketball PAC-10 Player of the Year at a pick up YMCA game.
I couldn’t believe how easy it was to outdo her.
The more strength is involved in a sport, the greater the disparity.
Ridiculous nonsense.
The first famous beta cuck male...
It was all about the money. Riggs was already too old, 55, to be a good match................
Navratilova had a real mad-on for CoupFlu vaxx refuseniks.
She made that clear in her Twitter feed.
I wonder if she still feels the same way.
It was just a show.
Reality will always defeat ideology.
I think the boys U-15 soccer team beat the USWNT.
Fierce competitor
Obviously the shots (vaxxine).
Riggs was a showman and a gambler. The show was just to make money, and it did.................
Definitely. I know about it, and it happened before I was alive.
Is that the same throat cancer that Michael Douglas had?
How do you know this?
In June, Douglas kicked off an animated conversation about the cause of oral cancer when he told The Guardian that he got throat cancer after engaging in oral sex. Oral sex can expose individuals to the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can cause cancer.Oct 15, 2013.
Obviously the shots (vaxxine).
No idea if she’s had the jabs (for travel, most likely)...but, yes, they are known to bring on relapses of long in remission cancers :-(
Wishing her well!
While this is true, I’d think his cancer came from smoking like a chimney...............
Douglass got a hold of some bad crack.
Side effect from the Vax?
