Martina Navratilova's Emotional Interview With Piers Morgan On Fight Against Double Cancer
Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by winner of 59 Grand Slam tennis titles, and widely regarded as one of the best tennis players of all time, Martina Navratilova, for an exclusive interview after recently announcing she had beaten both throat and breast cancer.
Martina opens up about the struggle of being diagnosed with cancer and how she felt after being diagnosed with a second cancer whilst still treating the first. She goes on to explain that not knowing the severity of her condition and how long she had left, changed plans with her wife Julia, as they had intended to adopt a child but decided against it.
Piers then asks Martina about the moment she had beat cancer and rang the bell to signify the end of cancer treatment. Martina explains she had a 'pitty' party to celebrate beating cancer and goes on to explain that it has changed her whole perspective on life.
The tennis legend also revealed that she smuggled her dog Lulu into hospital during cancer treatments to keep her company.

It’s good for others that she is so very honest about how hard it is to go thru cancer treatment.
What an icon. I watched and admired her as a junior tennis player in the 80's. She has gone so far beyond her greatness as tennis player. The parallel between her and Chris, another tennis icon, is so moving. God bless Martina and Chris both.
She was a champion champ. As a kid watching Wimbledon she was an inspiration. God bless her.x

Ignorant comment. How many men lose matches due to period pains? Men don't play in women's tennis, trans women do much to Martina's displeasure. Don't tell silly lies that you can't possibly back up! You embarrass yourself!
Beyond happy to hear the great news about Martina. The tennis community loves her with all our heart !
What a great woman Martina is, I always admired her, now she an inspiration to me. Soft spoken, courageous, down to earth, I can see all the goodness in her. The information she is given us, is so important. I have two friends that had breast cancer, one is just recovering, the other one had the cancer 27 years ago. Martina, I will pray for you tonight, you have courage and God is with you. You are going to be ok.

Martina Navratilova is a warrior - a WARRIOR! Mentally, she is as tough as an athlete comes. Her exploits are legendary and will never be equaled. In addition to her athletic prowess, Martina is extremely intelligent. A novelist, pundit, and great (honest/candid) tennis commentator. In short, a remarkable, accomplished woman. I wish you well with all my heart, Martina. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing this interview. Very important information. I had the same breast cancer journey returned almost 20 years later second time. No throat cancer but this story makes us all feel stronger. The nurses that care for the cancer patients are super heroes.
Really enjoyed this interview! My dad survived throat and stomach cancer. Inspirational.
Prayers and best wishes for Martina’s health and well-being.
Such a beautiful interview Piers. For the first time I saw the soft side of Martina and it was so lovely to see. Keep well Martina and enjoy life now.

Martina Navratilova was our treasure. As a Czech, I am very proud of what this girl has achieved! I'm 26 years old and I've always looked up to her because my trainer absolutely adored her. Every time I see this name it puts a smile on my face. It is our great Czech treasure and I think that Martina regrets that she had to leave her homeland for tennis.
Absolutely one of the best. Kindest regards to her. Big love, Richard U.K

Martina was THE most entertaining player ever in my view. Her up front attitude, her humour, her determination and down to earth character mixed with her incredible tennis talent, for me meant she was the tennis player I loved watching more than anyone else, men included. May she clear out this cancer and live a kiss ass life for much longer yet!
