CHRISSIE EVERT CANCER MIRACLE
TENNIS great Chris Evert served up good news. The retired athlete is disease-free after completing chemo for early-stage ovarian cancer!
The 18-time Grand Slam champion, 67, says surgeons discovered a tumor during the preventive hysterectomy she’d scheduled in 2021 — 22 months after her sister Jeanne Dubin’s fatal bout with the condition.
Chris says she tested positive for a BRCA gene mutation after Jeanne’s geneticist encouraged her to get screened and shares, “My sister’s death saved my life” since docs say there’s only a 10 percent chance her disease will return.
