Martina Navratilova Health Update: Martina Navratilova Breast And Throat Cancer Diagnoses Update. Martina Navratilova reveals she has BEATEN breast and throat cancer. Continue reading the article below for more information about her health update.

She added that she only has two more weeks of radiation treatment radiotherapy on her breast and that after this ‘I should be good to go’.

After being diagnosed at the beginning of last December, she said: ‘[I’m thinking] I will see this Christmas but maybe not the next one.’

Fortunately, doctors informed Navratilova her cancer was ‘extremely treatable’, the Sun reports.

She said during the treatment, which took place while she wore a specially fitted mask, she was moved to tears as nurses played Elton John’s I’m Still Standing while she was in the hospital.

The singer had dedicated the song to the Czech-born athlete at a concert in Paris during the French Open in the 1980s.

Now a naturalised American, the tennis ace told Morgan she began writing her bucket list after the diagnosis.

Which kick-ass vehicle do I really want to drive if I only have a year to live? I know that sounds really shallow, but that’s what I was thinking.

The tennis commentator, however, will now have more time than she had anticipated because she was able to defeat the illness after a strenuous regimen of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and proton therapy.

Navratilova claims it was the hardest thing she has ever done in the interview, which will include footage of her ringing a bell at the hospital to indicate she was clear.

She did, however, add that after witnessing infants as young as six months old receiving cancer treatment in the same clinic, she urged herself to “suck it up”.
