Tough times: Cancer scare & shoulder injury in Jelena Jankovic's life

Related Topics: Cancer, Shoulder

Recent period has been very difficult for Jelena Jankovic, as the Serb had a ten-day horror awaiting throat cancer results and has been nursing a shoulder injury, or more precisely a muscle near the shoulder that is connected to the back.

A cyst was discovered in JJ's neck gland and after initial analyses doctors were worried it might be cancer. Using needles, they took a sample from Jankovic's neck and the ten days of waiting for the results were like hell for the tennis star. Fortunately, the results were negative and Jankovic underwent just a minor procedure that removed the suspicious tissue.
