Navratilova checks in during Australian Open coverage, ready to get on with treatment after cancer diagnosis

Martina Navratilova checked into the Tennis Channel study to provide some updates after getting diagnosed with two separate cancers recently.

Showing herself in good spirits, Navratilova explained what has transpired in her life in the past several weeks and what is going to happen in the future. She was diagnosed with two cancers a few months ago but kept the diagnosis private until a few weeks ago. Her prognosis was very positive.

She said:

"Ya I’m ready to go. Ready to get on with the treatment. I’ve had two surgeries and four biopsies and radiation and chemo, I’m waiting. But I’m ready to go."

She also added:

"And I’m ready to go in other ways as well. Once I get to play again, I’ve got my squeezy thingy here. I just found these Wimbledon resistance bands in my grocery bag – I don’t know how they got there. And I have my water bottle as usual. So, I’m ready to go."
