Martina Navratilova, right, with Nancy Leibermann, received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Nancy Liebermann Charities Dream Ball Gala in Dallas in 2022.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with two forms of cancer — throat cancer and breast cancer — nearly two months after discovering an enlarged lymph node in her neck in early November, according to numerous news reports.
Navratilova, who previously lived in Fort Worth, first found the enlarged lymph node when she was in Fort Worth at the World Tennis Association Finals as an ambassador for the WTA Tour.
After a biopsy on the lump in her neck, she was diagnosed with stage 1 throat cancer, and it was while she was undergoing throat tests that doctors found a lump in her breast that was later diagnosed as breast cancer.
