Miami Housewife and tennis star Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with two different forms of cancer…throat cancer and breast cancer.
“This double whammy is serious but still fixable, and I’m hoping for a favorable outcome,” her statement reads in part. “It’s going to stink for a while but I’ll fight with all I have got.”
Speaking to PEOPLE, her spokesperson added, “The cancer type is HPV and this particular type responds really well to treatment,” later stating that the breast cancer is “completely unrelated to the throat cancer. Both of these cancers are in their early stages.” She adds that unfortunately “Martina won’t be covering the Aussie Open for Tennis Channel from their studio but hopes to be able to join in from time to time by Zoom,” they added.
Navratilova is married to RHOM star Julia Lemigova in 2014.
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out to share words of support,” Lemigovawrote on Instagram Monday. “Together, we will fight this ♥️,” she added.
