SIR CHRIS HOY has opened up on his hope for a new cancer treatment that could extend his life. The British cycling legend, 48, revealed in October that his cancer is terminal. Hoy has been given just four years to live, but after initially finding his diagnosis understandably difficult, is trying to remain positive.

The inspirational Scot, who has two children with wife Sarra, recently appeared on Elizabeth Day's "How to Fail" podcast. On how he approaches his illness, Hoy said: "I still find hope. It doesn't mean that the hope is that I'm going to survive this, because I'm not.

"But the hope was, and has come true, that I'm back to living again, back to enjoying each day - because none of us know what's coming in the future, we have today and that's it. "I've been able to get back to living again, which seemed so unlikely a year ago. So lean on your family, lean on your friends - focus on what you can do, focus on what you need to do as well.
"I think trying to let go of unnecessary stresses and worries and just focusing on the important ones and everything you can do today and there's still a lot of life left to be lived.". Hoy then admitted that while he has accepted his illness, he still holds some hope that a further treatment can be found.
He continued: "You never know, you never know what's going to happen. Symptoms of prostate cancer can include:. Source: NHS. "There's these amazing stories all the time in different situations. "My hope is that I'm hanging in there for a few more years and then something else will pop up, a new treatment, which might give me a few more years.
