Chris Hoy’s wife has said his decision to reveal his prostate cancer diagnosis has triggered an increase in men seeking advice, and described him as a “real-life superhero”.
The six-time Olympic gold medallist disclosed last weekend that he had “two to four years” left to live, after a scan found that the main cancer found in his prostate had metastasised to his shoulder, pelvis, hip, ribs and spine and was stage 4. He had announced in February that he had been diagnosed with the disease.
