Deion Sanders Reveals He Had Bladder Removed After Bladder Cancer Diagnosis

Beloved football legend Deion Sanders has given an update on his health.

The Colorado head coach announced today (July 28) that he was diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier this year. During the press conference, he also revealed that he underwent surgery around the same time his son Shedeur Sanders faced a tough NFL Draft weekend, falling from an expected first-round pick to the fifth round.

“There was some scenes you saw, all the bull junk that’s transpired on draft day. It wasn’t just that. It was just, I knew as well I had a surgery coming up. My sons, to this day, don’t know what transpired. I just told them it was something with my foot, because I wanted to give them the focus on making the team and not focused on dad.”

His medical team also spoke during the conference and said they’re “pleased to report that the results from the surgery are that he is cured from the cancer.” Speaking on his life post-surgery, Deion said:

“I depend on Depends if you know what I mean. I cannot control my bladder. So I get up to go to the bathroom already 4-5 times a night. And I’m sitting there waking up like my grandson. We in the same thing. We got the same problem right now. We’re going through the same trials and tribulations.”

We’re happy to see Deion is doing much better!
