Lesbian tennis legend Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with breast cancer, according to People Magazine. However, her prognosis is described as excellent because the disease was detected in its early stages.
Navratilova told the publication that she cried when she found out back in February. "It knocked me on my ass, really," she said. "I feel so in control of my life and my body, and then this comes, and it's completely out
of my hands." She admitted that she was lucky because she had not been getting check-ups regularly.
Navratilova, who was diagnosed with a non-invasive form, had a lumpectomy and will start six weeks of radiation therapy next month.
