Absolutely gutted and so, so sorry for him and his family.
What a champion and what a competitor and true gentleman. I thought he was so knowledgeable, genuine, eloquent and intelligent and as a commentator during the Paris Olympics. And he would have known then too
He never had the PSA test despite his father & grandfather having prostate cancer? I don't understand why that is?
Lads. When @Tracey offers this service at #cafc take the test please, take the test 🙏
Fear, perhaps?
Maybe thought it was inevitable he was going to get it, and thought he’d face that bridge if / when he came to it.
It’s pretty sobering, and what the family is facing is devastating and cruel.
Life is really tough and cruel sometimes, and it doesn’t matter how rich or famous you are, or even how fit / how many medals you got, this is his biggest battle in life, and I pray that he’ll have the strength to face it.
He is still quite young for a prostate cancer diagnosis, so maybe he just felthe did not need to test yet. It would have been so simple as an athlete he would have been used to various forms of testing. Maybe he was focused on his wife's condition. Sad whatever it it.
Cant quite believe that this man has this dreadful disease, the absolute epitome of fitness and good health. I hope that his treatment is successful and he can beat this illness
I wish him well , as I do too all the people bravely battling this horrible disease, especially those on this forum.
If you're 50 and over have a PSA test annually. If your father/grandfather had prostate cancer maybe ask for a test before age 50. If I hadn't I'd likely be in Chris Hoy's position. Tracey's initiative saved me. Make sure you save yourselves.

Stirring stuff watching him going for gold.
An absolute credit to his sport and the UK.
Good Luck Sir Chris.
Six-time Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy has announced that his cancer is terminal.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, he says doctors have told him he has between two and four years to live.

Poor guy.
Totally unfair.
I don't understand why that is?
