Scott Hamilton chooses not to undergo treatment for his third pituitary tumor.

Olympic figure skater Scott Hamilton, who won a gold medal in 1984, has decided not to undergo treatment for his third pituitary tumor in his brain. The 65-year-old, who has previously undergone surgery in 2004 and 2010, has chosen to focus on getting stronger at home. He has access to targeted radiation, which can help shrink the tumor without surgery or chemotherapy. Despite the challenges, Hamilton is grateful for the opportunities his Olympic experience has given him, such as giving back to his sport and creating a platform for many skilled skaters.
