Skating legend and olympic gold medalist Dorothy Hamill, age 51, has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing treatment at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. Hamill said in a statement Friday that the prognosis is favorable, but she will miss some of the "Broadway on Ice" tour while having treatment. She hopes to rejoin the tour soon.
Hamill also was a three-time U.S. champion and won the world title in 1976. She retired shortly after, and joined the Ice Capades in 1977.
This ver sad news indeed but the prognosis and her take on it seem favorable and I wish her all the best.
