Personal experience, Secondary breast cancer, Season 7
Sir Chris Hoy on hope, living for today, and not letting cancer define you
In this episode of the Breast Cancer Now podcast, six-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Chris Hoy shares his experience of being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
We don’t get to choose what happens to us—but we can choose how we respond
Chris discusses the shock of diagnosis, adapting to life with incurable cancer, and how his mindset as an elite athlete has helped him navigate uncertainty. He also introduces the Tour de 4, a community cycling event raising funds and awareness for metastatic cancers.
Together with Laura Price—who is also living with metastatic breast cancer—the conversation explores resilience, the importance of healthy living, and finding meaning while living with an incurable diagnosis.
Tour de 4 will take place on Sunday 6 September 2026 – sign up here.
