Colorado football coach Deion Sanders addressed his health issues Monday during a news conference, acknowledging that he had kept the worst of it a secret, not even informing his sons or his team.
Sanders said he had his bladder removed in May to address a cancerous tumor. His scan looked normal from the vascular side, he said, but a visit to Janet Kukreja, Sanders’ doctor at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, revealed the tumor.
Sanders, 57, opted for a bladder removal and creation of a new bladder to remove the cancer from the organ.
