Martina Navratilovashared an update on her health, revealing how she “got the all clear” from her doctors.
On Monday, the nine-time Wimbledon champion, 66, expressed her gratitude onTwitter, thanking “all the doctors, nurses, proton and radiation magicians, etc.” after “a day full of tests at Sloan Kettering.”

She added that she would undergo some preventative radiation for two weeks on her breasts, but following that, “I should be good to go.”
“I was with her from the good, bad, and the ugly, all the way. So when she was diagnosed with the cancer, I was with her and it’s not a secret,” Lemigova explained to PEOPLE in March. “Yes, of course, I was with her when she had good news. I had to be. And we celebrated that day.”
“We just try not to go too much ahead of ourselves. Just embracing each other, thanking life for every healthy day and being positive, being happy and just taking it slow. It’s almost like a clean slate in life,” she said.

“I have no idea what the future shows, really don’t. I’m just happy to be healthy. I’m happy that Martina is healthy,” she added. “Just thanking life for giving us good news, and that we have each other.”
TheReal Housewives of Miamistar continued: “We are out of the woods, but there is a long recovery period for all cancer patients when they are cancer free … They need a lot of love, friends, and family being around to support them. Because even though you’re cancer free, you still feel very weak and tired. You need every single bit of energy and love and positivity you can get from your loved ones.”
Lemigova, 50, and Navratilovatied the knot in 2014. They’re the first same-sex couple ever to appear as full-time cast members on theReal Housewivesfranchise since it premiered in 2006.
The tennis icon was first diagnosed with breast cancer 13 years ago — though she was declared cancer free in 2010. At the time of her initial diagnosis, Navratilova told PEOPLE: “It knocked me on my a–, really. I feel so in control of my life and my body, and then this comes, and it’s completely out of my hands.”
