Prominent British former track cyclist says doctors give him two to four years to live
Prominent British former track cyclist Chris Hoy announced that he had terminal cancer.
Chris said his prostate cancer had spread to his bones and reached the fourth and final stage. Tumors were found on the spine, hip, pelvis, shoulder and rib. Chris learned that his illness was incurable a year ago. Doctors give the former athlete two to four years to live.
“No matter how unnatural it may seem, it is nature. You know, we’re all born and we all die, and it’s just part of the process. Remember, I’m lucky that there’s a medicine that I can take that will keep it away for as long as possible,” Hoy said.
The 48-year-old Briton is a six-time Olympic champion and 11-time world champion in track cycling. Hoy was Team GB’s flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Home Games.
Chris retired from his professional career in 2013. He later became interested in auto racing, and competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016. Hoy received the title of Ambassador of UNICEF Great Britain, as well as other organizations.
