Sir Chris Hoy has urged people to live for the present in his first message since revealing that he has terminal cancer, and says that he has been “blown away” by the public’s support. “I now have a deep resolve to turn this incredibly difficult diagnosis into something more positive that can help not just me but anyone anywhere living with stage four.” Massive upsurge in men seeking cancer advice Hoy has been writing a book that will be released next month and said that he had been hugely comforted in recent days to hear that there has been a massive upsurge in men seeking advice about prostate cancer. I’m really proud of it and I hope it can help anyone facing any sort of challenge in their life, not just cancer.” Wife hails Hoy as ‘real-life superhero’ Hoy’s wife, Sarra, has described him as a “real-life superhero” and said he was likely to save “countless lives” by revealing that he had been told by doctors that he has between two and four years to live. We have so many more adventures planned and I am so fortunate to get to do it all with Chris Hoy – the most incredible person I’ve ever met.” Sarra, who married Sir Chris in 2010, also praised her husband for fulfilling his presenting duties at the World Track Cycling Championships in Copenhagen after his diagnosis became public.
