“I’m currently receiving treatment including chemotherapy, which thankfully is going really well. I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the medical professionals for their amazing help and care.“For the sake of my young family, I had hoped to keep this information private but regrettably our hand has been forced. While I’m thankful for any support, I’d like to deal with this privately.”However, Hoy said the last few months since his diagnosis had been “incredibly difficult”, adding: “My heart goes out to the many others who are also going through similar challenges right now.“I’m optimistic, positive and surrounded by love for which I’m truly grateful. As you might imagine, the last few months have been incredibly difficult.“However, I currently feel fine – I am continuing to work, ride my bike and live my life as normal.
