'There is hope' as Chris Hoy gives update on his cancer diagnosis
Sir Chris Hoy has spoken of his hope for defying a terminal cancer diagnosis, saying his treatment for stage four prostate cancer is 'working'.
The Scottish cycling legend was diagnosed with cancer in September of last year, after complaining of a pain in his shoulder.
It turned out to be a tumour, which a scan found had come from primary cancer in his prostate, which had metastasised to his bones.
He went public with the news in February 2024, but shared in an update last month that his illness was terminal, and that he had been given two to four years to live.

"Well the plan is, right now, keep doing what I’m doing in terms of treatment because it’s working," he told The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio. "Touch wood – the diagnosis was two to four years, but actually if you look beyond that it can be many years. "There’s people out there that are still around who’ve been in the similar situation for 20 years.
