Canadian tennis star Gabriela Dabrowski revealed Tuesday that she underwent two surgeries to treat breast cancer following a diagnosis in April.

The three-time Grand Slam doubles champion shared her story on social media, disclosing that she played through her diagnosis in a year she won a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.

“I know this will come as a shock to many, but I am OK and I will be OK,” Dabrowski wrote in an Instagram post. “Early detection saves lives. I can wholeheartedly agree with this.”
