Martina Navratilova, the former tennis star, is making the media rounds in the cause of breast cancer awareness. She announced that she was diagnosed with a non-invasive form of breast cancer. Her doctors caught the cancer early and she is expected to make a complete recovery, due to early detection.

In February, Martina Navratilova's doctors diagnosed that she had "an aggressive form of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), considered the earliest form of breast cancer."  She "had a lumpectomy in February, during which her doctors determined that the cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes. She says there is only a "very small chance of it coming back. It is just in that one breast," she said. "I'm okay and I'll make a full recovery."

Martina Navratilova said that "she is lucky the cancer was caught so early since she had not scheduled a mammogram in four years. 'I let it slide. Everyone gets busy, but don't make excuses. I stay in shape and eat right, and it happened to me," she said. "Another year and I could have been in big trouble." She is urging women to take regular  mammograms
