Olympic gold medalist Madi Wilson<\/strong> opened up about being sidelined by health issues.<\/p>\n

The Australian star wrote in response to people asking why she was not currently at camp with her fellow Dolphin swimmers. She revealed that she had four tumors found in her chest, which were fortunately benign. She has some more testing to go, but hopes to be back in the pool soon.<\/p>\n

“UPDATE: I have a lot of messages coming through about why I\u2019m not on camp currently with my Dolphins. I don\u2019t need sympathy from this post it\u2019s just an update. Over the past few months I\u2019ve been dealing with two separate health matters. We found 4 tumours in my breast which we needed to take biopsies of and very thankfully these came back benign! Though this was probably one of the most scary things I\u2019ve experienced in my life, I\u2019ve learnt to appreciate so much more. The other is a working progress to do with my arms and my nerves which is a bit complex to go into too. The good news is that I\u2019ve been able to train through it all and continue on with my goals, I\u2019ll be back joining the camp after a few more scans on Tuesday. I\u2019m so lucky to have the team I have around me who get me through and support me\u2764\ufe0f Cant wait to continue on with this year,” Madi Wilson wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
