Tennis champion Martina Navratilova diagnosed with two types of cancer

Former top-ranked tennis star Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with two unrelated types of cancer, she revealed Monday.

Navratilova has Stage 1 throat cancer and early-stage breast cancer and is set to begin treatment this month, according to Tennis.com.

“This double whammy is serious but still fixable, and I’m hoping for a favorable outcome,” the 66-year-old said. “It’s going to stink for a while, but I’ll fight with all have I got.”
