He opted for bladder removal surgery just nine days after his diagnosis, and described the recovery as excruciating: “I remember just on the ground in the bathroom,” Deion told #MichaelStrahan. “And I’m just screaming because it was so much pain.”

Now cancer-free, Deion continues to face some challenges, including nighttime incontinence, but emphasizes the importance of sharing his story. “Men never talk about stuff like this… This is real. This is what I’m dealing with,” he said, adding, “I choose to rise up, man, not to stay down. We all got somethin’ we fightin’. But you can overcome it.”
