The Olympic champion, who is currently battling terminal prostate cancer, added he is fully aware that the illness will not disappear.
Speaking on his prognosis, Sir Chris Hoy said: "I’m not saying that I’m going to be that person, but once you know something is possible, it’s a way of finding your own hope."
The champion cyclist, who has so far refused to search his condition online, instead requested a friend search for people with similar stage four cancer diagnoses, and discover who had survived the longest.
Their answer was two men - both of whom were alive more than 20 years after they were first diagnosed with the disease.

Speaking with The Times, the six-time gold medal winner announced his fitness was slowly improving following his latest round of chemotherapy.
He said: "A lot of people don’t really know what stage four means.
"With stage one, two, three, there’s a possibility you can be cured completely.
"Stage four, you can’t. Stage four essentially means you’re never going to get rid of it. It will always come back at some point; it is a terminal diagnosis.
Struggling to express the impact of his diagnosis, the cycling star added: "It takes away all the hope, because if you’ve got stage one, two or three there’s always hope that actually you can beat this.
"But instead of dwelling on it he decided to live his life pointing out ‘a lot of people are living with stage four’."
It comes after his wife, Sarah, opened up about the Team GB icon’s battle with terminal cancer and the way her health has suffered in recent
The six-time Olympic champion, who was given between two and four years to live in 2023, revealed to supporters he was suffering from terminal prostate cancer last year.

Now, making a rare public appearance since falling ill, Lady Sarra has opened up about the health challenges she and her husband have faced over the last two years.
