His wife Sarra has today in an Instagram post said: “Completely overwhelmed by your kind, thoughtful and helpful messages.
“Many people say they don’t know what to say- that’s ok, you don’t need to have the words – just taking the time to message has been like a soothing balm to the soul. Thank you.”
She went on to say: “I’ve been told that men seeking advice about prostate cancer is up seven fold and that Chris’s story is likely to save countless lives. This takes my breath away.
“Life is wonderful. We are excited about the future. We have so many more adventures planned….
“And I am so fortunate to get to do it all with Chris Hoy – the most incredible person I’ve ever met.
“Watching him on the BBC at the weekend was like watching a masterclass in strength of character, dignity and humility.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- he truly is my real life superhero.”
Sir Chris responded to her heartfelt post with heart and kissing emojis.
