Chris Hoy has issued a new update on his terminal cancer battle.
The former Olympian shared details of his devastating diagnosis last year.
The cyclist was given two to four years to live after being diagnosed with primary prostate cancer which had spread to his bones.
The 49-year-old is determined not to let his diagnosis hold him back, telling Sky Sports his treatment is now a part of his everyday life.
"I'm doing well. It feels like I've entered a bit of a stability stage at the moment and I'm feeling good.
"Most importantly, cancer's not the first thing I think about when I go to bed at night. I think we've got into a rhythm now where it's part of our life and we manage that and crack on," said the six time Olympic gold medalist.
"I feel good. I'm on constant medication, constant treatment, but it's not interfering too much with my life, and the most important thing is it's working, so I'm stable at the moment, everything's good.
"Making hay while the sun shines," he added.
With his time limited due to the disease, Hoy says he is determined to live everyday to the fullest.
"I can't believe the position I'm in now compared to 18 months ago. I never imagined I'd be able to get to this point where I'm actually living life.
"And not just living life, but actually appreciating it more than ever. It's not just about doing bucket-list stuff and doing massive things, it's about appreciating the daily, mundane fun of life," continued Hoy.
