Tennis legend Chris Evert says cancer has returned

Two years after first being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, American tennis legend Chris Evert announced Friday that she has experienced a cancer recurrence and will miss broadcasting next month's Australian Open.

"My cancer is back," the 68-year-old Evert said in a statement. "While this is a diagnosis I never wanted to hear, I once again feel fortunate that it was caught early."

Evert said that a PET scan revealed cancer cells in her pelvic region and she underwent robotic surgery earlier this week. She will now undergo chemotherapy.
