“Men, everyone, are verified. Because if it was not for me to have something else tested, they would not have tripped on this subject,” he said. “Make sure you get the right care because without wonderful people like that, I wouldn’t be sitting here today because he grew up so quickly. But please, have you checked.”
Deputy Sports Coach of Colorado, Lauren Askevold and Dr. Janet Kukreja, UC Health, broke the diagnosis and Sanders surgery calendar.
Askevold said Sanders had an act analysis of his vascular model to check if his blood clots were absent. She said everything was going from a vascular point of view until Sanders’ primary care physician 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 tumor, according to Askevold.
“We have eliminated the bladder tumor. We removed the rumor, it was very high, invading the bladder wall, not in the muscle layer, something 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 said he was dealing with a totally different life and has no control over his bladder.
“I can’t pee like I was peeing,” he 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 had made 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 resumed Colorado’s 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 made an appearance in the Alamo bowl.
