Tennis pro Martina Navratilova has revealed she is now “cancer free” after her diagnosis had left her fearing she “may not see next Christmas”. The former world number one announced in January she had been diagnosed with early stage throat and breast cancer after noticing a lymph node in her neck during the WTA finals in Fort Worth in 2022.
The 66-year-old is due to undergo further preventative radiation treatment, but revealed in an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV she should then “be good to go”. She said that having nursing staff play songs by Sir Elton John while she was in chemotherapy had helped get her through the treatment.
“You pick your music that you want to listen to,” she said, in quotes reported by The Sun. “One time I picked Elton John and then he starts singing I’m Still Standing, which he dedicated to me at a concert in Paris during the French Open in the eighties.” She added: “As far as they know I’m cancer free.” During her TalkTV interview, set to be aired on Tuesday, Martina revealed her cancer diagnosis had left her fearing the worst.
“I was in a total panic for three days thinking I may not see next Christmas,” she said. “The bucket list came into my mind of all the things I wanted to do.” Martina, who previously underwent treatment for early-stage breast cancer in 2010, went to the doctor after noticing an enlarged lymph node in her neck, with tests subsequently confirming cancer.
She added: “This was the first week in December, (I’m thinking) I will see this Christmas but maybe not the next one.” However, doctors were able to tell her the cancer was “extremely treatable” and she had a “95 per cent” chance of a full recovery. Martina is the winner of 59 grand slam singles and doubles titles,
