Tennis legend Chris Evert says she is cancer-free, one year after announcing she had been diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer.
Evert wrote that she had taken action and went to get tested after doctors told her she had a variant of the
that could increase the risk of developing cancers, including breast and ovarian cancer. Her younger sister, Jeanne, had had the gene variant and had died after developing BRCA-related ovarian cancer, according to Evert.Sisters and tennis stars Jeanne Evert, 14, and Chris Evert, 16, in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. in 1972.
Evert herself said she had a malignant tumor in her left fallopian tube and underwent a hysterectomy, six rounds of chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. She said doctors told her if she had waited longer to get tested and seek out treatment, she could have ended up with Stage 3 cancer, what her sister had when she found out she had cancer.
A year later, Evert said she's still talking about her own personal experience because her"journey isn't over," adding that she has one more reconstruction surgery to go. She also encouraged others to learn about genetic testing, their own family history and advocate for themselves."The most important thing is not to leave things to chance," Evert wrote. She added,"When I talk to people about genetic testing, so many people say, 'It's too scary to know.
Evert said on"Real Sports" last year that her sister's death had saved her life. She reiterated the sentiment in her article again, writing,"My sister's journey saved my life, and I hope by sharing mine, I just might save somebody else's."Sign up for our newsletters to get GMA delivered to your inbox every morning!
