Six-time Olympic champion Hoy reveals he has terminal cancer

UK's six-time Olympic track cycling champion Chris Hoy has revealed he has "two to four years" to live after he was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer which metastasised to his bones. The announcement comes after the 48-year-old Scot said in February he was feeling "optimistic and positive" as he was undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer diagnosed last year. However, the sprinter, who worked as a pundit with the BBC at last summer's Paris Games, has now revealed he has known for more than a year that his cancer is incurable. Despite his illness, Hoy says he remains positive and appreciating life. "Hand on heart, I'm pretty positive most of the time and I have genuine happiness," Hoy told The Times. "This is bigger than the Olympics. It's bigger than anything. This is about appreciating life and finding joy." "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." Hoy wrote a memoir about his life over the past year in which he describes how doctors discovered his cancer after initially finding a tumour in his shoulder.
