Deion Sanders, the chief coach of the Colorado buffalo, revealed that he needed to be removed from his bladder after a cancer diagnosis in this low season, but has no plans to get away from his work.

“I knew I wasn’t going to get away from the game because he’s still young and is still enjoying it.”
Hester and Sanders have had a solid relationship for years, and when the first one joined the second in the hall of fame of professional football last year, the emotions of the Bears Legend could not contain themselves when he hugged Sanders after receiving his gold jacket from him.
So, knowing the person that Sanders is inside and outside the field, Hester understands why “Coach Prime” still wants to be on the sidelines despite his medical situation.
Deion Sanders reveals that he fought bladder cancer
“He has given opportunities for many men who dream of training and dreams of being part of something special,” Hester added. “He is opening doors, and that is the way he looks at things in life. He has opened doors not only for himself, but for his classmates and the great men around him. He has used him for his advantage, and it is something that he has been blessed with God, to be in that situation in which he can bless other young men.
“He takes advantage of that, and ensures that he does the right thing.”
Sanders and medical officials held a press conference on Monday to address the coach’s health, during which the assistant athletics coach of Colorado Lauren Askevold and Dr. Janet Kukreja of UC Health broke the schedule of her diagnosis and cancer surgery.
Askevold said that Sanders had an act of his vascular pattern to verify if his blood clots were out. While everything was reviewed in that regard, Sanders’ primary care doctor wanted to refer to a urologist, which finally led Kukreja, director of Urological oncology at UC Health, to take a look at Sanders.
According to Askevold, Sanders’ primary care doctor told him that he had a bladder tumor.

“We proceeded with the elimination of the bladder tumor. We remove the tumor. It was very high grade, invading through the bladder wall, not in the muscle layer, something we call high -risk non -invasive bladder cancer,” Kukreja explained.
Sanders, then, chosen for the elimination of the bladder and the creation of a new bladder after Kukreja broken his options.
“I am pleased to inform that the results of surgery are that it is cured of cancer,” he said.
Sanders’ health was a concern for months, since it was previously a mystery with what he was trying. He also revealed in a video posted by his son, Deion Sanders Jr., on Sunday he made a will in the midst of his health battles. The video was filmed on May 9.
“Mentally, emotionally, it was difficult last night, yesterday it was hard, because I had to make a will. That is not easy at all to think that you are not here,” he said in the video.

Impacting those who serve us
Meanwhile, in Chicago, Hester went out to the field after the Bears had their last practice of the training field to put the members of the service through a combination of real life thanks to Usea, the official partner of “Greetings for the service” of the NFL.
These training fields have exercises similar to those used by NFL coaches to evaluate the talent in the NFL Scouting Combine, including the 40 -yard board, the broad jump, the transport service of three cones and more.
These training fields have been in force for years, but now they present a live classification table to capture and monitor the scores of the participants in real time, which Hester said he added tons of competitiveness among those in the field.
“It was very exciting, and it was a unique situation between these guys and seeing them have fun. At the end of the day, everyone had fun and competed, so it was a great cause for today,” Hester said about experience.

“I can relate to them because I have a couple of cousins that are my age that were in this type of services. Only to choose the brain of those guys, their daily routine, and it is similar to the stories that my family told me. Of course, my family members were also true football fans, so that they also had the opportunity to choose my brain when we got to football. going to the daily measures, and having an hour to collect my brain, and also had an hour to collect.
