Martina Navratilova: Tennis legend diagnosed with throat and breast cancer
bbc ^ | 2 January 2023 | Russell Fuller

The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion, who previously had breast cancer in 2010, will start treatment in New York later this month.

Navratilova, 66, said both cancers had been caught at an early stage.

"The double whammy is serious, but fixable, and I'm hoping for a favourable outcome," she said. "It's going to stink for a while, but I'll fight with all I have got."

Navratilova noticed an enlarged lymph node in her neck during November's WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas.

A subsequent biopsy revealed stage one throat cancer.

During the tests, a lump was also discovered in her breast, which was later diagnosed as an unrelated cancer.

A close relative of mine was breast cancer free for 10 years less a couple of weeks. She had put off getting vaxed because she had bad allergic reactions to the flu shot a few years ago but since she "didn't want to be excluded" (her words) from going to NYC and Broadway shows and the like she opted for the least harmful it was believed; the JNJ shot.

Well, her breast cancer came roaring back and another type of cancer along with the original type. From what I have heard the JNJ vax is the one most likely to reactivate dormant cancer.

She is the Tom Brady of WOMAN’S Tennis.

Martina was one of the woman athletes that has been very outspoken against tranny men competing in women’s sports.

Sounds like someone I know. Cancer was in remission, got the shot. A subsequent MRI showed her body lit up like a Christmas tree with cancer all over the place.

She passed about a year ago.

Number of vaccinations in the US yesterday fell to levels not seen since February. People around the world are begging for vaccines - and Americans won’t take them because of Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, and the disinformation they read and hear on Facebook and Youtube.

Its a medical fact. Men don’t have the same amount if infection fighting defenses in the throat as women.

This is somewhat troubling. What are the first signs of this disease?

Asking for a friend.
