Navratilova diagnosed with Stage 1 throat and breast cancer

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.

Should be treatable this early. I wish her well.
I don’t recall her ever being “in your face” about her life.

Is this a cancer that has spread..or just two unrelated different cancers.

RUMBLE VIDEO “Turbo Cancer”: Dr. Charles Hoffe Says 2/3 of His Patients’ New Cancer Diagnoses are Stage 4

With the vaxxxxxxxinated immune systems being destroyed/seriously damaged, cancers are NOT kept in check by the body's immune system. You will probably NOT be able to get a medical appointment now due to the fact cancer diagnosis's are EXPLODING.

She/it was definitely vaxxxxxxed and probably many injections. The more injections you get, the sooner you die. Even the flu shots now have the mRNA poison death mixture in them.

I remember a night show host, maybe Fallon or Kimmel, questioning/implying that Serena could beat a male player. (Serena was the guest)
She said she couldn’t even beat a guy that was in the top 150.

I think the host might have mentioned Andy Murray, who was in the top ten at the time...

Serena was being honest. Your average male college player can beat the high seeded female pros..

Michael Douglas got throat cancer and claimed it was because of engaging in too much cunnilingus. Navratilova is a lesbian. Could there be a correlation?

cant breast cancer spread and cause something that is in the beginning stage or do they report it a different way.

Her breast cancer has come back.
