Deion Sanders, head football coach at the University of Colorado-Boulder and a former NFL football and MLB baseball player, announced on social media that he had been diagnosed with a bladder tumor and had undergone a bladder removal and reconstruction. \u201cGiven his commitments to his family and the team, he elected to undergo a bladder removal. We performed a full robot-assisted laparoscopic bladder removal and creation of a new bladder, and I\u2019m pleased to report that the results from the surgery are that he is cured from the cancer,\u201d his doctor, Janet Kukreja, announced at a press conference on Monday. Sanders, affectionately called \u201cCoach Prime,\u201d has been open about the difficulties of his recovery, sharing that he lost 25 pounds and \u201ccan\u2019t pee like I used to pee.\u201d But he said he is grateful to start his third season as a coach. \u201cIt\u2019s been a tremendous journey,\u201d Sanders said. Sanders has a following among both football and baseball fans as the only athlete to have played in both the Super Bowl and the World Series. <\/p>\n
