Hello everyone
It's my birthday today and I want to thank all of you for the wonderful messages. I haven't written anything for a long time about why I haven't been on tour, so that's why I'm writing this today. It's not an easy time for me right now. I've been a bit unlucky with my health. I have Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer. I've been having treatment in Italy and it has been going well, but it takes lots of patience and I've had to be really strong to go through this. The good news is after I do treatment for a few more months, if I feel well, there's a chance I'll be able to play tennis again. I really miss playing - I miss seeing fans and friends around the world, I miss hitting the ball, I miss everything. Tennis has been my life for the last 15 years. http://www.wtatennis.com/news/201107...256076_2393558 |

This broke my heart. I've been worried about her health ever since she pulled out of Wimbledon and I couldn't find a reason behind it. I was hopefully it was just a nasty case of mono, I never for one second it would be something this bad.
Please fight Alisa, if anyone can, it's you. You're in my heart and prayers. |

Hello everyone I am a strong person. I've shown it before. Obviously this is different than anything I've ever experienced, but after this is over I'm sure my life will be even better than ever before. This is the toughest time of my life till now, and I hope it always remains the toughest time of my life. I'm sure I'll be able to overcome this - it's just a matter of patience and time and I believe I have enough! Of course, even though I'm in treatment, I hope I'll have a fun birthday today I'm really happy I have my family, my best friends and all the most important people with me here today. They're here every day, week and month helping me with everything and giving me all their support. Anyway, I just wanted to write to you all because it has been a long time and I really miss all of you guys... I won't be on tour for a little while, but I really hope to see all of you again soon Alisa All things considered, she seems upbeat and focused on getting better. |
