Sir Chris Hoy has opened up on his battle with terminal cancer alongside his wife Sarra, as she supported him in an interview appearance. The six-time Olympic cycling champion, who has been told he has two to four years to live, was first diagnosed with cancer in September last year. Chris, 48, appeared on This Morning on Tuesday to discuss his new book all that matters .
Whilst on the sofa alongside his wife Sarra and chatting to hosts Cat Deeley and Dermot O'Leary, the Scots sportsman opened up the first signs he had cancer and how he "never considered it might be cancer." Chris explained he felt "something was wrong" after having a pain in his shoulder which made picking items up and grasping things more difficult - however he disclosed that he never for one moment thought he would be diagnosed with stage four cancer . Detailing the moment doctors broke the heartbreaking news to him, Chris admitted "my head was spinning and I couldn't sit still.
" Chris and wife Sarra share two young children together and Sara recently shared that she's also battling Multiple sclerosis (MS) which cannot be cured. She selflessly hid her diagnosis from her husband at the time as his cancer news came to light. Sarra got the diagnosis of a "very active and aggressive’ form of multiple sclerosis just weeks after Chris received his cancer diagnosis.
The couple admitted it had been 'the toughest year' of their lives by 'some stretch'. Join the Daily Record' s WhatsApp community here and get the .
