Sarra and Chris Hoy. Image: Jane Barlow/PA Archive. |
Some weeks before his cancer diagnosis, his wife Sarra had tests on a tingling sensation in her face and tongue.
Then just before Christmas it was confirmed she had multiple sclerosis (MS) that was “very active and aggressive” and needed urgent treatment.
I take this to mean fulminating MS that is usually fatal within a few years. This is not stated in the news story but it looks like it.
I am a big admirer of Hoy. It looks like his life and the life of his wife will end in around 3 years. As I said. life is cruel. These things happen. Humans are vulnerable and fragile. Life is precious. It can end quite suddenly.
Hoy is strong and pragmatic as I would expect. He accepts his fate and will live life to the fullest for as long as he can. I am sure Sarra has the same viewpoint. A great couple.

Also, sources for news articles are carefully selected but the news is often not independently verified. And, I rely on scientific studies but they are not 100% reliable. Finally, (!) I often express an OPINION on the news. Please share yours in a comment.
