Chris Hoy, the six-time Olympic gold medallist, has disclosed he has “two to four years” left to live after a terminal cancer diagnosis.
The 48-year-old told the Sunday Times that a scan in September showed a tumour in his shoulder.
And a second scan two days later found the main cancer to be in his prostate which has since metastasised to Hoy’s shoulder, pelvis, hip, ribs and spine and was stage 4.
Hoy had announced in February that he was being treated for the disease.
The 11-time track cycling world champion told the newspaper: “As unnatural as it feels, this is nature.
“You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process.”
