SIR CHRIS HOY admits his cancer diagnosis has put the pressure of his cycling career into perspective and insists he feels “lucky” to have time to spend with his family.
The six-time Olympic champion revealed last month in a Sunday Times interview that his cancer is terminal after he first made public in February that he was undergoing treatment, including chemotherapy.
A tumour was found in Hoy’s shoulder and a second scan found primary cancer in his prostate, which has metastasised to his bones.
