MIAMI (SNN-TV) – Former Casey Key resident and tennis great Martina Navratilova says her prognosis is excellent, after being diagnosed with two forms of cancer.
After battling throat and breast cancer, the 66-year-old says she appears to be in remission. Navratilova tells Talk TV she’s determined to stay healthy and plans to attend every check-up she needs. She says she found an enlarged lymph node in her neck last year and that led to the discovery of a form in her breast.
The athlete has 59 Grand Slam titles and still holds the women’s tennis record of 167 singles titles. Previously, Navratilova was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010.
