I didn't know he was sick. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

He's had a pretty brutal run of health issues, especially for a guy in such good shape with every financial advantage and access to top tier medical personnel.

He's had known health issues for a while (toes already amputated, etc). I think it was always assumed that once his kids were done, he wouldnt coach much longer. This pretty much wraps that up.

 

Say what you will about the guy but he stuck it out and battled through a lot of health issues in order to help get his kids as much college football spotlight and into the NFL. Good dad.

Didn't he just sign a 5 year extension?

He plans on coaching next year and they will supposedly have a portable toilet nearby,  lets see how it works out.

My dad had bladder cancer. Caught it really early after noticing blood in his urine one time and only one time. Doctor told him that bladder cancer is luckily one of the easier to treat but cancer is scary.

Probably. Gotta at least go through the motions if you arent going to actively recruit and just lean on "Deion is here" to draw players in.

 

Who knows, maybe he does stick it out a few more years.

Typically having great genetics in one area usually means not so good in other areas...

Hope he has a speedy recovery.

The story said his bladder was removed. So that means he has one or two ileal conduits that drain his kidneys to a bag(s) on his abdomen. That sucks. Many bladder cancers can be treated with just removing the tumor from inside the bladder.  If they removed his bladder that means the tumor had invaded the bladder wall/muscle. Hopefully it has not metastasis to bone. 

Bladder cancer is much much more common in smokers. Dont know id he was a smoker or not. There is also a familial predisposition for bladder cancer as well.

I don’t think that is the repair that Sanders had. Based on his interview with yahoo sports, he has an internal bladder fashioned from small intestines. No bag, but needs to void frequently, and is somewhat incontinent.
