Katie used her Instagram to encourage Martina, who was recently diagnosed with throat and breast cancer.

The journalist asked her followers to do the same and cheer the former Tennis player on in the comments.

It did not take long for people to respond to Katie’s plea, filling the comment section with the right words.

The well-decorated athlete was diagnosed with stage 1 throat cancer and unrelated breast cancer.

She is set to kick off treatment this month, and had previously suffered a non-invasive breast cancer in 2010.

Both diseases are expected to clear up during treatment based on previous positive outcomes.

Couric divulged that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in June last year.

She encouraged women to get tested for the disease, whether through a mammogram or an ultrasound.

She also asked women to give cancer patients the love they deserved.
