“I love life right now,” he said. “I do my best to live it as much as possible, given what happened.”

Sanders announced at the end of July that he had to have his bladder removed after receiving a cancer diagnosis during the offseason.

“Men, everyone, are verified. Because if it was not for me to have something else tested, they would not have fallen on this subject,” he said at a press conference last month. “Make sure you get the right care because without wonderful people like that, I wouldn’t be sitting here today because it grew up so quickly. But please have you checked.”

Deputy Sports Coach of Colorado, Lauren Askevold, and Dr. Janet Kukreja of UC Health broke the diagnostic and Sanders surgery calendar.

Askevold said Sanders had an act scanner of his vascular model to check if his blood clots had disappeared. She said everything was going from a vascular point of view until Sanders’ primary care doctor wants to refer the coach to a urologist. The doctor led a procedure and then returned it to Kukreja, director of UC Health urological oncology.

Sanders’ primary care doctor said the coach had a bladder tumorAccording to Askevold.

“We have eliminated the bladder tumor. We removed the tumor. It was very high, invading the wall of the bladder, not in the muscle layer, something that we call non -invasive bladder cancer,” said Kukreja.

Kukreja said they had discussed a few options, but Sanders chose to withdraw the bladder and the creation of a new bladder.

“I am delighted to point out that the results of the surgery are that it is cured of cancer,” she said.

Sanders has sounded the alarm about his health problems in recent months.

He revealed Sunday in a video published by his son Deion Sanders Jr. that he wrote a will in the middle of concerns about his health. The video was shot on May 9.

“Mentally, emotionally, last night was difficult, yesterday was difficult, because I had to do a will. It is not at all easy to think that you may not be here,” he said in the video.

Sanders took the Colorado post before the start of the 2023 season, and he brought his sons, Sheder and Shilo, and Travis Hunter with him by Jackson State.

The 2024 season was the most successful year on the two that the Prime coach had. Hunter won the Heisman trophy as a double-position player, while the Buffaloes finished 9-4 and played in the Alamo Bowl.
