thanks for posting this...

I had read that she was temporarily out of the tour for cancer, but in the article I saw it just said "cancer", not what kind of cancer. So, she's one of our sisters now.

Best to you all!

Per abc news:

Hamill isn't the first Olympic champion to have cancer. Peggy Fleming, the 1968 Olympic gold medalist, also had breast cancer. She was diagnosed in 1998, but is now cancer free and is an advocate for research and awareness. Scott Hamilton, the 1984 men's champion, was treated for testicular cancer in 1997.
