Sir Chris Hoy pledged to combat prostate cancer in the fourth stage and still has hope in the future.
The Six Olympic Gold Medal “15 to 16 options” on the table to prolong his life thanks to Professor Sir Chris Evans.
Speaking alongside Chris Hoy in Q and a consciousness of social cancer in London, Evans, 67, said: “These are smart things.
“With Chris, you will take two steps or two steps and see how they go but there are about 15, 16 things we can do.
“It is what I hope he will not have any of them. Perhaps it will not be better than me.
“Positive people with cancer do much better than negative people with cancer, they respond better to anything treatment.”
With insisting that he is still optimistic about the future, Chris described himself as “lucky” before adding: “The biggest shift in my mentality last and a half is learning to slow down and still has goals, still has the purpose, still has things to look forward to, but in reality I appreciate this moment.
“Since the future does not exist. The future is this abstract concept that we are concerned about it may never happen, and we often feel anxious about the wrong thing, and something often comes out of the left field, like cancer.”
Chris said: “I thought, in an excuse to lose his spark and his love for life:” I thought, rightly, I must build my forces around me.
“People who need all the different components you need, as you know, my wife at the top of the list, it’s a rock, it’s the basis.
“But you also have all the different people you bring to you, and this can help you.
“You have to find hope because for a good reason, doctors cannot give you a false hope, they cannot promise you anything.
“It is a club that you never want to join, but when you have to embrace it.
“You don’t have to be positive every day because it is impossible to be positive all the time.
“But I think, for me, it comes to not being more negative than being positive.”
Looking at the future, Chris, who has a diagnosis from two to four years, said: “I think it is very important that the aspirations, goals and great reason remain to push you to focus and not think a lot.

“I still have plans to be able to get great exciting things and I have many of those who will come on family holidays and wander. [his charity race] It means I want to be fit and I want to walk well.
“I want to train on it, so every time I go to the bike, I think about it and the goal behind it.
“But while I am on the bike, I look around and try to enter, and look at thinking” this is beautiful “even if it rains.
“I suddenly three or four friends who died without any warning, without an opportunity to appreciate life, without the chance to say,” Isn’t lucky? ”
“So, yes, for me now, it is about the present, but it is still looking for the future.”
What is prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer affects a small gland in the form of nuts located under the bladder and surrounds the urethra – the tube that carries urination outside the body.
It usually grows greater as you get older.
The main prostate function is to help make a semen – the liquid that carries sperm.
Most men with early prostate cancer have no signs or symptoms – for this reason it is important to know your risk.
Possible symptoms include:
- Difficulty urinating or emptying your bladder
- A weak flow when urinating
- Feeling that the bladder was not empty properly
- Driving urine after the completion of urination
- The need to urinate more often than usual, especially at night
- A surprising need to urinate – you may leak sometimes before you reach the toilet
If you notice changes in the way you urinate, it is more likely to be a sign of extended prostate, which is very common and non -cancerous.
But it is still a good idea to be examined.
In the UK, about one in eight men of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in their lives.
Some factors may mean that you are more likely to get it.
This includes:
- They grow up – mainly affects men between the ages of 50 or more
- The presence of a family history of prostate cancer
- Being black
If you have any of these risk factors or if you have any symptoms, talk to your doctor.
They can talk to you about your risk, and about the tests used to diagnose prostate cancer.
