At the start of the year, the nine-times Wimbledon champ said she was devastated on being diagnosed with breast cancer. But now, after seven months' treatment, she said she's beaten it," The Mirror reports.

"The worst part was the first day. I was alone. I had no one to lean on. But the response was great and I know I've saved some lives," The Mirror quoted Navratilova as saying.

She said that when she learnt she had the malignant tumour in her left breast, it was by far the worst experience of her life.

"It knocked me on my ass, really. I feel so in control of my life and my body, and then this comes," she added.

But Navratilova, who was the runner-up in ITV's I'm A Celebrity in 2008, vowed to fight her cancer, which was still in a very early stage with the same determination she had mustered to be the world No1 in tennis In January 2010, a routine mammogram reveals a lump in Martina's left breast, and she was asked to come back for a closer look.

Navratilova goes back to have the lump magnified on February 23.

"They said, 'Well, there's a cluster, we'll do a biopsy just to be sure'. So I went to Denver to get the biopsy. And they said it looks pretty good, it should be nothing," said Navratilova.
