It was announced Wednesday that tennis great Martina Navratilova is being treated for DCIS, a common, non-invasive type of breast cancer. Navratilova’s diagnosis really highlights the fact that men can get breast cancer, too.
Navratilova has responded well to treatment and joked about radiation causing hair loss. In particular, she is worried that it could thin her beard.
Her lumpectomy was a success, and radiation treatment will help her lower the risk of the cancer coming back. So the ball is in her court.
Martina had intended to keep the news private, but went public once it hit the ‘Net.
