Sir Chris Hoy, one of Britain’s greatest cyclists and Olympians, has announced that his cancer is terminal.
Sir Chris revealed earlier this year he was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer and was “optimistic, positive and surrounded by love”.
However, he has announced in an interview with The Sunday Times that his cancer is terminal and that he had “known this for over a year”. Hoy revealed that he has “two to four years” to live.
After a tumour was initially found in his shoulder last autumn, a second scan found primary cancer in his prostate, which had spread to his bones. There were also tumours in his pelvis, hip, spine and rib, with a doctor telling him that it was stage four and incurable.
