IN TONIGHT'S HEALTH MINUTE WE FOLLOW HIS JOURNEY BACK TO THE ICE. FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, CHAMPION FIGURE SKATER SCOTT HAMILTON SAYS HE'S FELT AT HOME ON THE RINK. I got on the ice and immediately I liked it. BUT A BATTLE WITH TESTICULAR CANCER, FOLLOWED SOON AFTER BY A BENIGN BRAIN TUMOR, THREATED TO TAKE THAT PASSION FROM HIM. I was done, I just had no passion for it anymore. I was just happy to stay in bed, hang out with my kid, I love my wife, and that was enough. BUT SOMETHING DEEP DOWN INSIDE TOLD THIS CHAMPION -- IT WASN'T THE FINAL CHAPTER. I always wondered whether it was the brain tumor that kind of tricked me into stopping, or whether it was just time. It always kind of haunted me, so I just figured I needed to find out. AND FIND OUT HE DID. HE's JUST RETURNED FROM HIS SIXTH WINTER OLYMPICS AS A SKATING COMMENTATOR AND IS BACK ON THE ICE TRAINING FOR A BENEFIT SHOW. It was probably the best decision I ever made, but it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. HE HAS SET UP THE SCOTT HAMILTON CARES INITIATIVE.
