Breaking News Sir Chris Hoy Got Terminal Cancer
Six-time Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy has revealed that his cancer is terminal.
He told theheadlinehunter that doctors had told him he had between two and four years to live.
The 48-year-old Scot revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
He has not previously reported any type of cancer.
But he told theheadlinehunter that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which had spread to his bones – meaning it was stage four.
Sir Chris won six Olympic gold medals between 2004 and 2012, the second most of any British Olympian after Sir Jason Kenny’s seven.
He retired from cycling in 2013 and in recent years has appeared as a pundit and commentator on Sport’s cycling programme.
Sir Chris told the newspaper he had known for a year that his cancer was terminal.
Tumours were found in his shoulders, pelvis, hip, spine and ribs.
Sir Chris told the newspaper: “It’s natural, even though it feels bad.
“You know, we’re all born and we all die and that’s just part of the journey. Episode
“Remind yourself, aren’t I lucky? I can take medication for as long as I can to prevent this.”
Sir Chris added: “I’m fine most of the time and really happy, to be honest.” It’s bigger than the Olympics. It’s bigger than anything. It’s about enjoying life and finding the joy.
He posted a message on Instagram after theheadlinehunter published the article: “You may have seen some comments in the media this weekend about my health, so I just want everyone to know that I’m healthy, strong and well. Thanks to all the love and support that’s been shown to me and my family. continue!
An Olympic athlete was diagnosed with cancer last year after a routine check-up on his shoulder, which he thought was caused by a tumour while lifting weights at the gym.
The athlete was at his wife Sara’s side when he was diagnosed with the serious illness. The couple have two children, Callum and Chloe, who were nine and six at the time.
Just before Sir Chris found the tumour, Sarah was diagnosed with the degenerative disease multiple sclerosis.
Edinburgh-born Sir Chris was first inspired to take up cycling by the famous BMX scene in the film ET and by the time he retired, he had won six Olympic titles, 11 world titles and 43 world cup titles.
The cyclist won his first gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and four years later won three more medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He won two more gold medals at London 2012.
His popularity was so high that he was chosen to carry the flag for Team GB at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics and four years later at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.
