NFL legend and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is giving glory to God after doctors declared him cured of aggressive bladder cancer.
“I want to Thank everyone that prayed, thought of my journey & ask[ed] God to intervene,” Sanders wrote. “Without prayer where would we be… I have so much more work to do to Glorify God so please believe God got me.”
Sanders revealed during a press conference that he had been diagnosed with a high-grade bladder tumor discovered during testing for another condition. Doctors removed the tumor and, after further treatment including bladder removal and reconstruction, confirmed he is cancer-free.
“The ‘C’ word, when we hear that word, there’s normally a life sentence attached to it,” Sanders said. “But not this time. But not this time.”
Though he remained upbeat, Sanders admitted the journey was difficult. “It was dynamic. It was tough. It wasn’t a cakewalk. It wasn’t easy… That was a fight, but we made it.” He shared that he lost about 25 pounds during treatment.
In behind-the-scenes footage, Sanders revealed one of the hardest moments came the night before surgery. “I had to make a will. That’s not easy at all, to think that you may not be here,” he said.
Throughout the ordeal, Sanders maintained confidence in his return to coaching. “I always knew I was going to coach again. It was never in my spirit, in my heart, that God wouldn’t allow me to coach again.”
He urged others to prioritize their health: “Men, everybody, get checked out… Because if it wasn’t for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn’t have stumbled upon this.”
Even in recovery, Sanders continues to point to faith. “God is LOVE & his LOVE is unconditional,” he wrote. “Let’s stop judging, stop hating & Let LOVE have its way.”
