  • Prostate Cancer UK say almost 300,000 men have checked their risk levels online since Sir Chris announced his terminal diagnosis in October.

Sir Chris Hoy, a six-time Olympic champion, has emphasized the importance of men discussing their health issues more openly, particularly in light of his own battle with cancer. Diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer in 2023, Hoy underwent chemotherapy and is now in remission. He advocates for men to talk about their health concerns, highlighting that such conversations can lead to early detection and better health outcomes. Hoy shared his experiences and the need for men to support each other, especially after his diagnosis which came as a shock following a routine medical check. His message is part of a broader campaign to encourage men to be proactive about their health, engage in regular check-ups, and not shy away from discussing health issues, which can often be stigmatized or ignored.
