Anybody see the documentary on TV earlier tonight? A fantastically put together programme and certainly stirred up some dust in my living room. He is a wonderful role model and all round great guy. He and his wife were inspirational! |  |

Must admit cycling in any form has never been my thing, but that was one hell of a documentary. Incredibly sad, but conversely, as you say, incredibly inspiring. |  | | |

Being two years behind Sir Chris, and potentially on a similar journey I was disappointed that it was more about the individual, and his mates, than about the cancer.
Missed the target, for me. |  |

Given your situation PinewoodBlue, your opinion is very valid, and looking back, it was very individual focused.
However, my take is it that it did hit the exact thing Sir Chris wanted. To show people that Stage 4 cancer doesn't mean that life is immediately over, that dreams can still be conquered and challenges can be undertaken/overcome. And that friends/ loved ones will be there to support and enjoy moments with you.
There is already a huge amount of awareness of cancer and its affects. Sometimes in this modern world where he who shouts loudest gets heard, you need individuals like Sir Chris, and programmes like this, to provide hope and inspiration and to get a message heard.
Keep strong in your challenge. | |

This is an extract from a BBC article only yesterday
“ This is the same mindset he is relying on more than ever to reframe his entire existence and purpose following a terminal cancer diagnosis.”
Once the cancer escapes from Prostate and appears elsewhere, lymph glands or bones it is regarded as incurable, you probably won’t die from it but you will die with it.
Terminal is when treatments no longer works, time to focus on end-of-life comfort.
In essence, incurable is a broader category of advanced cancer, while terminal describes the point where treatment options for control have essentially run out, signalling the final phase of the disease.
Hence disappointment with the programme there are people out there who have coped with their condition for 10, 15 or more years.
If there is a history of prostate cancer in your family get yourself tested. It isn’t a perfect test it misses some and can also give a false positive reading. Pick it up at an early stage and it can be cured . [Post edited 19 Dec 2025 15:20]
