    Chris Hoy’s wife breaks silence on his terminal cancer diagnosis in moving post

    Sir Chris Hoy’s wife Sarra has described her husband as ‘my real life superhero’ following his terminal cancer diagnosis.

    Doctors have told Hoy, 48, he has between two and four years to live after being diagnosed with primary cancer in his prostate.

    Legendary cyclist Hoy revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year but only recently confirmed it had spread to his bones, meaning it is stage four.

    Tumours were discovered to his shoulder, pelvis, hip, spine and rib.

    In her first post since the devastating news, Sarra called her husband ‘the most incredible person I’ve ever met’ and said the family had been ‘overwhelmed’ by the support they have received.

    ‘Completely overwhelmed by your kind, thoughtful and helpful messages,’ she wrote.

    ‘Many people say they don’t know what to say- that’s ok, you don’t need to have the words – just taking the time to message has been like a soothing balm to the soul. Thank you.

    ‘I’ve been told that men seeking advice about prostate cancer is up seven fold and that Chris’s story is likely to save countless lives. This takes my breath away.’

    Sarra Hoy, who was diagnosed with MS just weeks after her husband was told his cancer is terminal, said the family were ‘excited about the future’ despite the devastating diagnosis.

    ‘Life is wonderful. We are excited about the future,’ she added. ‘We have so many more adventures planned…

    ‘And I am so fortunate to get to do it all with Chris – the most incredible person I’ve ever met.

    ‘Watching him on the BBC at the weekend was like watching a masterclass in strength of character, dignity and humility.

    ‘I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- he truly is my real life superhero.’

    Sir Chris Hoy is one of Great Britain’s greatest ever Olympians, having won six gold medals between 2004 and 2012.

    Since retiring from cycling in 2023, he has been a regular pundit as part of BBC Sport’s cycling coverage.

    ‘As unnatural as it feels, this is nature,’ Hoy told The Sunday Times. ‘You know, we were all born and we all die, and this is just part of the process.

    ‘You remind yourself, aren’t I lucky that there is medicine I can take that will fend this off for as long as possible.

    ‘Hand on heart, I’m pretty positive most of the time and I have genuine happiness.

    ‘This is bigger than the Olympics. It’s bigger than anything. This is about appreciating life and finding joy.’

    Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Team GB legend Dame Kelly Holmes were among those to send message of support to Chris Hoy and his family.

    In a separate social media post on Thursday, Sir Chris said: ‘I’ve been utterly blown by the love and support that we’ve received this week.

    ‘I understand there has been a massive increase in men seeking advice about prostate cancer in the last few days and that’s been a huge comfort to us, to know that hopefully many lives could be saved by early testing.’

    Sir Chris also revealed he had written a book titled ‘All That Matters’, set to be released next month, in which he discusses how he has ‘coped’ with the diagnosis and ‘found hope and the resolve to keep pushing on’.

    He added: ‘I’m really proud of it and I hope it can help anyone facing any sort of challenge in their life, not just cancer.’

    Chris and Sarra Hoy have two children together, Callum and Chloe, aged 10 and seven.
