Serena Williams’ Recovery from Neck Surgery: A Smooth Operation
In a recent update, Serena Williams revealed her recovery from a surgery that involved the removal of a benign branchial cyst from her neck, describing the experience as challenging yet ultimately successful, E News reported. The retired tennis icon, who noted the cyst had grown to the size of a small grapefruit, initially discovered the lump in May. Despite being advised that removal wasn't necessary, its growth led to further medical investigations. New tests, including biopsies that showed no cancerous signs, prompted the removal.
Serena shared a video showcasing portions of her hospital journey and expressed gratitude for her current state of health. Despite undergoing surgery and still in recovery, her positive health outcome allowed her to participate in motherly duties. "I took my daughter, Olympia, to American Doll as promised, even though it meant navigating around some events," she commented on social media. However, Serena acknowledged missing key events like the Glamour Woman of the Year awards due to her healing process, emphasizing that health remains her priority.
Serena’s post also included reflections on her notable career. Even as she transitioned from professional tennis during the 2022 U.S. Open, humorously preferring terms like "evolving" over retiring, Serena's records stand strong. With 23 Grand Slams in singles and additional accolades with her sister Venus, her legacy is robust, mirroring the resilience she continues to demonstrate in her personal life and health journey.
