Martina Navratilova bravely opens up on cancer battle as she insists she's "ready to go"

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova says she is "ready to go" after beginning treatment for stage-one throat and breast cancer.

The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion announced she had been diagnosed with the two forms of cancer earlier this month after doctors discovered a swollen lymph node in her neck in November.

And while Navratilova said the diagnosis was "serious", she vowed to "fight with all I have got". Navratilova went through a similar battle 13 years ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, but was ultimately given the all-clear after the tumour was surgically removed and she underwent radiation therapy.
