'I didn’t think I’d see Christmas': Martina Navratilova gives her world exclusive interview to piersmorgan on her cancer journey in PiersUncensored
Married Martina - who wore a specially-fitted mask during the proton therapy procedure - revealed: “You pick your music that you want to listen to.
A biopsy confirmed she had cancer but Martina had to wait four agonising days to discover exactly where in the body it had originated. Doctors told Martina the cancer was “extremely treatable” and offered a “95 per cent” chance of a full recovery. “I’m like, okay, so what do we do now? You get into tennis mode, that’s where having been a champion athlete comes in pretty handy.”
The star said: “I find out it’s throat cancer, I think I could be dying, but then I find out, no, it’s very treatable.“That’s when I started crying on the table as she’s still poking and getting samples out of my boob. “So, today the first thing I’m thinking about is for Martina to get well and stronger, and we’ll see what happens.Czech–American Martina added: “We were thinking about adopting but that’s definitely put on hold, and I don’t think it’s going to happen.Widely considered one of tennis’s all time greats, Martina pledged in January “to fight” the cancer “with all I have got”.
She added: “That was the hard part because the first week was both chemo and radiation at the same time.“I didn’t really feel the proton until week three but then you get a sore mouth and your throat starts closing.“You don’t really taste things the right way. Chemo does the same thing to your throat but then it makes it dry.
