Sir Chris Hoy has opened up on his heartbreaking cancer diagnosis - and he has been given just 'two to four years' to live, despite only revealing the news earlier this year
Olympic cycling icon Sir Chris Hoy has revealed that his cancer is incurable and he has just 'two to four years' left to live. The 48 year old, who bagged six Olympic gold medals for Team GB between 2004 and 2012, announced in February that he had been diagnosed with the disease. In a heartfelt Instagram post at the time, Sir Chris described himself as 'optimistic' and 'positive'.
His rollercoaster health journey began when Sir Chris visited his doctor last September after experiencing shoulder pain. A tumour was discovered in his shoulder, and a subsequent scan revealed the primary cancer in his prostate. The prostate cancer had spread to his bones, including his shoulder, pelvis, ribs, spine and ribs.
Sir Chris and his wife Sarra are parents to two children, seven year old Chloe and 10 year old Callum. He shared how he explained his situation to his children, telling them that no one lives forever but he hopes to "be here for many, many more years".
