Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton said he was diagnosed with a benign pituitary brain tumor for the third time earlier this year, according to People magazine.
Hamilton, who took gold in Sarajevo in 1984, underwent chemotherapy to treat testicular cancer in 1997 and was twice previously diagnosed with brain tumors and had surgery, in 2004 and 2010.
“I have a unique hobby of collecting life-threatening illness,” the 58-year-old Hamilton said. “It’s six years later, and it decided that it wanted an encore.”

Hamilton learned of the tumor at a routine check-up and is currently exploring all his treatment options before symptoms begin presenting.
