Sir Chris Hoy has revealed he is now in a "stability period" of his cancer treatment, despite his terminal diagnosis.
The six-time Olympic gold medallist in track cycling shared the positive update about his health condition.
Hoy, 49, first revealed in February 2024 that he had prostate cancer.
In October, he disclosed that his condition was terminal after the cancer had spread into his bones with doctors giving the Scot between two and four years to live.

However, Hoy has maintained a positive outlook since his diagnosis.
He recently told Sky Sports he was "appreciating life more than ever" during this new phase of his treatment.
"I'm doing well. It feels like I've entered a bit of a stability stage at the moment and I'm feeling good," Hoy said.

"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."
The cycling icon explained that his treatment continues but isn't significantly disrupting his daily life.
"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," he added.
"I'm stable at the moment, everything's good. Making hay while the sun shines."
