Chris Hoy, a six-time Olympic winner, has disclosed that his disease is terminal, reports Breaking News.
According to the Sunday Times, the former track cyclist has been diagnosed with two to four years to live.
According to the Sunday Times, the 48-year-old Scot has known for a year that his disease is terminal, despite having disclosed in February that he was receiving treatment, including chemotherapy.
In an interview with the newspaper, Hoy said: “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,” reports Breaking News.
A second scan revealed primary cancer in Hoy’s prostate that had spread to his bones after a lesion was discovered in his shoulder.
He has been informed that the tumours in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine, and ribs are incurable.
Chloe, age seven, and Callum, age ten, are the two children of Hoy and his lawyer wife Sarra, reports Breaking News.
He remembers nine-year-old Callum asking him whether he was going to die.
Although no one lives forever, Hoy expressed his optimism that he will “be here for many, many years” because of the medication, reports Breaking News.
Sarra, his wife, had testing for a tingling feeling in her face and tongue a few weeks prior to his cancer diagnosis.
Then, shortly before Christmas, it was determined that she had “very active and aggressive” multiple sclerosis (MS) that required immediate medical attention.
The couple has kept Sarra’s MS diagnosis a secret from their kids, reports Breaking News.
