Tennis legend, Martina Navratilova has had long-standing cancer battles. In 2010, she underwent treatment for early-stage breast cancer. However, 13 years later, she suffered a double cancer blow. The former world number 1 was diagnosed with throat and breast cancer and subsequently, underwent treatment to cure the same. Finally, in June this year, she revealed that she’s cancer free now.
Like Navratilova, her long-time rival and close friend Chris Evert has also suffered from cancer. In 2021, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the same form of cancer that was the cause of her sister’s death. Evert took the cancer battle head-on and eventually overcame it. Recently, American model, Chrissy Teigen dropped a bold post on social media that invited a strong response.
