BOULDER, Colo. -- University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders announced Monday that he underwent surgery to remove his bladder after doctors discovered a tumor there. Sanders said that since the surgery there have been no traces of cancer, and that he will continue to coach this season.
In a packed Touchdown Club at the Dal Ward Athletic Center, Sanders was both serious in tone as well as celebratory and full of humor about what he had been through as he appeared with Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of urological oncology at University of Colorado Cancer Center.
