Poor Scott.

(This article came from Skate Today)

World-renowned figure skater and Olympic Gold Medalist, Scott Hamilton, has announced he will undergo surgery to remove a brain tumor.On Tuesday afternoon, Hamilton took to his twitter page to announce the surgery.

“Okay. So here I go. One more surgery to EVICT this mischief making brain tumor. Tried “nuking” it gone. Now it’s time to get it out!”

In November 2004 it was announced that Hamilton had a benign brain tumor and he underwent treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. In 1997 Hamilton battled testicular cancer and since has been an advocate for men to get tested.

In 2009, Hamilton decided to take charge of his health and took to the ice for the first time in over five years. In March 2010, the Bio Channel aired a two-hour television special chronicling Scott’s return to skating after battling cancer.

“Thanks to all who have sent their best wishes and prayed for a great outcome,” Hamilton tweeted back to his followers. “With that much support I am bound to be better than ever!”

Scott Hamilton won four consecutive U.S. championships from 1981–1984, four consecutive World Championships during the same years and a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics.

We hope Scott will make a full recovery and get back on the ice as soon as possible.

I'd like to add my best wishes to Scott for a full and speedy recovery.
