Scott Hamilton - Is the pattern of 2-butoxyethanol in his life?

Scott Hamilton - figure skating champion

I'm interested in talking with someone and asking enough questions, so that we can see whether or not their health has been affected by 2-butoxyethanol exposure(s). ... a lay questionnaire that can be shared with a doctor, etc.

These are some questions & a 'picture' I'm gathering for a local man, Jeff

Today I noticed the health of Scott Hamilton which I was unaware of, and which I would suspect a parent to have been exposed to 2-butoxyethanol or similar chemical. I was actually looking for more about Joe Hamilton, Carrie Hamilton's father (& ex-husband of Carol Burnett) There is a thread here on that. These are the interactions from another forum

Joseph Henry Michael "Joe" Hamilton Jr. (I would like to know more about him)
born on 1-6-1929 in Los Angeles, California
expired 6-9-1991 in Brentwood, California age 62 (Cancer; what type?)

In searching for his ... I found ... which also 'fits the profile' if the rest of the pattern is there:

Scott Hamilton diagnosed with brain tumor

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- World and Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton has a benign brain tumor.

The 46-year-old Hamilton underwent a biopsy at The Cleveland Clinic, and doctors expected to release him from the hospital by Friday, publicist Michael Sterling said Thursday.

"We will be working with him on a treatment plan moving forward," said Dr. Gene Barnett, chairman of the clinic's brain tumor institute.

Barnett said Hamilton has a slow-growing, non-cancerous tumor in the region of the pituitary gland .

Sterling said Hamilton has been had problems in recent weeks with his eyesight.

Hamilton, who lives in Los Angeles, is a four-time U.S. national champion, a four-time world champion and the 1984 Olympic gold medalist.

He is now a skating show producer. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1997 and treated with surgery and chemotherapy. 11-12-04

He accomplished:
4-time world champion (1981-84);
won gold medal at 1984 Olympics

Other 'signs'
growth abnormality,
autoimmune metabolic problem digestion

"An adopted child, Hamilton stopped growing when he was two years old. He was eventually diagnosed as having Swachman-Diamond syndrome, a partial paralysis of the intestinal tract that prevents the body from absorbing nutrients, and a special diet and exercise cured the problem. However, he grew to only 5-foot-2½ and he weighed only 108 pounds during his peak skating years.

Did Aristotle Onasis have 'the pattern' of 2-butoxyethanol harm?

He had surgery for gall bladder not long before he died.

Later Jackie Kennedy Onasis dies of NHL cancer - at age 61

John Kennedy, Jr may still be alive had his mother lived longer.

He was not willing to fly a plane over her objections - as it concerned her so

Around the time I was two or three-years-old, it's all pretty mysterious, I stopped growing. And my parents noticed that I wasn't developing like the other children and it scared them a great deal. Because without knowing your family history, medical history, you really don't know how to react, or what to expect from your adopted children. So I went in and out of hospitals for a long period of time. I was misdiagnosed many, many times. Once with cystic fibrosis, and another time with Schwackman's Syndrome, which is a pancreatic enzyme deficiency. Basically what I had was a paralyzed, or a non-effective intestine system, where I wasn't absorbing the food that I was eating.

We were in and out of hospitals, and I was on all these restricted diets. Finally, we went to see Harry Schwackman in Boston and he said, "It's not Schwackman's Syndrome. We've run every test, we can't find anything wrong with him. Let him lead a normal life and see what happens."

When I started skating, it gave me some self-esteem that I didn't have growing up, because I was the shortest one in the class, and sick, and couldn't really compete -- couldn't play all those reindeer games, I guess. So I started skating and the illness completely went away.

When he was a child, a mysterious illness halted his growth and confined him to hospitals for almost six years. Doctors predicted he would not survive childhood.

when Scott’s adoptive mother died of cancer. At that point, he determined that he would become a world champion and honor his mother for all of her perseverance, strength, and integrity.

As Scott moved forward in his career and life, he married wife Tracie in 2002 and they welcomed a son, Aidan, the following year. It looked like all was going well for Scott, and that life back in his now hometown of Englewood, Colorado was returning to normal. All that changed when Scott began to feel week and noticed that his vision was getting blurry.
