Chris Hoy reveals that his cancer is terminal

|October 21, 2024
SIR Chris Hoy, one of Britain's greatest cyclists and Olympians, has revealed his cancer is terminal.
-
He was given a diagnosis last year that he has two to four years left to live.
Sir Chris, 48, told The Sunday Times: "As unnatural as it feels, this is nature." He added: "You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process.
"You remind yourself, aren't I lucky that there is medicine I can take that will fend this off for as long as possible." A tumour was found in Sir Chris's shoulder and a second scan found primary cancer in his prostate, which has metastasised to his bones.
Tumours have also been found in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine and rib and he has been told it is incurable.
Sir Chris and his lawyer wife Sarra have two children, seven-year-old Chloe and 10-year-old Callum.
He recalls Callum, who was then aged nine, asking if he was going to die.
