British Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy has “two to four years” left to live after revealing his terminal cancer diagnosis.
"I have a bit of news," he wrote earlier this year. "Last year, I was diagnosed with cancer, which came as a huge shock, having had no symptoms up to that point."Hoy initially assumed he’d strained his shoulder, revealing he thought: "I’m just getting a bit old for lifting heavy weights."
In July, Hoy was present at the Paris Olympic Games, providing TV coverage for the BBC and appeared healthy while being congratulated by his colleagues for looking “so well”., he spoke about emotionally about the diagnosis. Hoy explained how, despite the awful news, he feels 'lucky' to even have any time left thanks to medication that will extend his life."As unnatural as it feels, this is nature," Hoy explained."You remind yourself, ‘Aren’t I lucky that there is medicine I can take that will fend this off for as long as possible’."But most of the battle for me with cancer hasn’t been physical. For me, it has been in my head.
