Former top 10 women’s tennis player Carla Suarez Navarro says she has finished treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma and is cured of her cancer.
“Another step forward,” the 32-year-old from Spain wrote Thursday (Friday NZT) on Twitter.
“Every word of support gave me strength during the past few months,” she added, ending her message with the words: “I’M CURED!”
Suarez Navarro said in September that she had been diagnosed with cancer and would need chemotherapy.
She was ranked as high as No 6 in the world, won two WTA singles titles and reached the quarterfinals at grand slam tournaments seven times.
