Tennis Legend Chris Evert shares her personal story of Ovarian Cancer

In a recent interview on PBS’s NewsHour, Chris Evert, six-time US Open champion, tells her story of diagnosis and treatment for ovarian cancer following her younger sister’s death from the disease. Thanks to genetic testing recommended by her sister’s doctor, Chris was found to carry the same BRCA mutation that took her sister’s life.  Chris’s own case was detected early at stage 1C, and she received timely treatment.  Read about her cancer journey here:
