Cyclist Chris Hoy announces that his cancer is terminal

Sir Chris Hoy, a six-time Olympic champion in cycling, has revealed that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, he mentioned that doctors have informed him he has around two to four years left to live.

The 48-year-old Scottish individual disclosed earlier this year that he has received a cancer diagnosis.

Hoy revealed to the newspaper that he has been aware for a year that his cancer is incurable.

Hoy secured six Olympic gold medals from 2004 to 2012, making him the British athlete with the second highest number of golds, just behind Sir Jason Kenny, who has seven.

He hung up his bike in 2013, and in the years since, he's become a familiar face as an analyst and commentator for BBC Sport's cycling broadcasts.

He had not revealed what kind of cancer he was dealing with before.

However, he revealed to the Sunday Times that he was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer that has progressed to his bones, indicating it is in the fourth stage.

Tumors were found in his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine, and ribs.

Sir Chris expressed to the newspaper, "Although it seems strange, this is part of nature."

"Everyone experiences birth and death; it's simply a natural part of life."

You take a moment to reflect and think how fortunate you are to have access to medication that can help keep this at bay for as long as possible.
