Overview
- Hoy, 49, is living with stage-four prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and has been given a prognosis of two to four years.
- The illness was identified after hospital scans for shoulder pain found a tumour and then the primary cancer in his prostate with further bone metastases.
- In recent interviews he said the diagnosis has, in some ways, improved his life by sharpening his focus on the present and time with family.
- His advocacy includes serving as an ambassador for The Even Bigger 180 and the Darts of Destiny fundraiser tied to the World Darts Championship.
- This renewed spotlight on awareness follows David Cameron’s disclosure and comes as the National Screening Committee is expected to meet this week to consider a targeted NHS screening programme.
