Sir Chris Hoy has urged men of the age of 45 to get a PSA test after speaking candidly about his cancer diagnosis. In his first television interview since details of his condition became public last month, Hoy revealed that he’s recently had a close friend also diagnosed, and praised the courage of his wife Sarra as she battles multiple sclerosis.
In October, Hoy announced that he had been given between ‘two and four years’ to live after learning his cancer was incurable.
He’s now advised people not to wait until it’s too late to find out if they too have the condition.
“If you’ve got family history of it like I have, if you’re over the age of 45, go and ask your doctor,” he told BBC Breakfast. “I’ve got a friend who, when I told him my news early on confidentially, he went and got a PSA test and it turned out he had cancer. He’s had treatment and he’s been given the all-clear.”
