The whole tennis world is aware of the difficult journey that Martina Navratilova took because of her multiple cancer diagnosis. While the tennis legend took down the deadly illness as she does with all of her opponents, she became the first one to extend words of empathy as Kate Middleton’s own diagnosis update broke the internet.

Recently, a video of the Princess of Wales surfaced on social media in which she herself revealed the shocking news, although she didn’t specify which type of cancer. “Following the advice of my medical team, I am now in the initial stages of a preventive chemotherapy course. William and I were deeply shocked by this diagnosis. We are focusing on managing this situation privately for the well-being of our young family,” Catherine said.

Martina Navratilova, a cancer survivor and a well-wisher, extended her heartfelt support to Kate Middleton, who has lately been the subject of conspiracy on the internet, after the revelation of her diagnosis. Navratilova expressed her well wishes, stating, “And we wish her good health and a cancer free body soon!!! Xoxox”

The tennis legend, who battled both Stage 1 throat and breast cancer simultaneously, not only just extended her wishes but also acted as a source of empathy towards the struggles ahead. Martina Navratilova’s own experience with cancer gives out the story of her understanding of the challenges and uncertainties that come along with such a diagnosis. However, she isn’t the only one from the tennis world to extend her wishes in reflection on the shocking update.
