Just six months after revealing that she was battling breast cancer, tennis star Martina Navratilova has announced that she has beaten it.
“I am cancer-free,├óΓé¼┬¥ said Navratilova. “Technically I was cancer free after the lumpectomy in March. But then I had radiation to make sure that it killed any cancer cells that were still hovering about.”
Continued Navratilova:
“Surgery was easy but the radiation was trickier. It was six weeks of really low energy. Radiation just sucks your energy like a vampire, day by day. Even when it was over, it took it a long time to get my energy back up. But now I feel as good as new. I have an excellent prognosis, and I’m really doing well.”
We’re so happy you beat it! Congrats, bb!
