Hall of Fame tennis player Martina Navratilova said Wednesday she has been diagnosed with breast cancer but expects to make a full recovery.
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who has what is considered as the earliest form of breast cancer, will undergo radiation therapy in May.

Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America," Navratilova said she was diagnosed in February with an aggressive form of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), considered the earliest form of breast cancer. Reflecting on the day she learned she had cancer, Navratilova referred to it as her "personal 9/11."

"I was devastated," she said on GMA.

Navratilova, 53, told interviewer Robin Roberts, herself a breast cancer survivor, that she underwent a lumpectomy, and that doctors concluded the cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes. There is a "very small chance" of the cancer recurring, she said."It is just in that one breast," Navratilova told GMA. "I'm OK and I'll make a full recovery."

1. I will add my

best wishes to her for a full, lasting and quick recovery. I am sorry to hear this.

She is one tough lady and there is no question in my mind that she will not get through this and back to her normal life quickly.
