Has anyone heard how Dorothy Hamill is doing?
I haven't heard any updates since they announced she was being treated for breast cancer. I know that she had been quoted as saying she wanted to rejoin the tour around the middle of January. I've done google searches, but I don't find any new info.
I just finished her book & she's been on my mind lately. Sure praying for her quick recovery here.
 
How's Dorothy

I wish she would do something with her Website so that we would know what is going on with her - I have been thinking about her as well - I wonder if there is anyone who we could email, like an agent or something that would let us know how she is doing
 
Here's a short article from HappyNews that says Dorothy returned to Broadway on Ice, 1/16/08:

Also, a short blurb in the Baltimore Sun:

Thanks for those links, but they still leave me wondering *how* she is, ya know? The 1st artical stated:

"Olympic gold medalist Dorothy Hamill is back on the ice.
She was to return to the national ''Broadway on Ice'' tour Wednesday night after taking time off because of breast cancer. The 51-year-old skater left the tour this month for treatment at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital. "

I guess the 1st line does say she IS back on the ice, but then the next line says
"she was to return to"....
Then the 2nd one says:

"Figure skating // Olympic skater and gold medalist Dorothy Hamill, recovering from breast cancer, will return tonight to perform as the headliner in the Broadway on Ice tour during its stop in Fort Lauderdale, Fla"

So it says "will return".
I just haven't found anything that says she has re-joined the tour, or that she *did* skate. I would think that if she did return, there would have been lots of pictures & articals & interviews. I just haven't seen anything. I haven't seen anything that says she has completed treatment, & is back to preforming.
Not that I think she should be back to preforming this SOON. I mean, she should do what she needs to do to get pleny of rest & take as much time as she needs to get through this difficult time.
I do wish too, that she'd have stuff on her site.
I wish the best for her, & have praying for her recovery.
She is THE REASON that I love ice skating even to this day.
Here's to Dorothy!:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
 
How's Dorothy

I do think she skated in Florida, Arkansas and North Carolina (finished the tour) otherwise there would have been notices that someone else would have been skating in her place - and I think someone interviewed Frank (the singer) and he said that Dorothy was stronger than ever - but someone out there who reads these forums must know who we could email - I bet she would like to know that people are thinking of her
 
Thanks for that info and articles! I was wondering, too! I knew she would beat this!:agree: I wish also that they would keep up her site!
