The mysterious health battle of Deion Sanders was revealed earlier this week when he announced that he had been fighting bladder cancer.
“The men, all, are reviewed. Because if it were not for me to be proof of something else, they would not have encountered this,” he said earlier this week. “Be sure to get proper attention because without wonderful people like this, I would not be sitting here because it grew so expensive. But please, see.”
TMZ Sports spoke with the field marshal of the Brett Favre Hall of Fame about his former teammate of the Atlanta Falcons, and Favre said he was “totally shocked” when he learned of the diagnosis of Sanders.

“When he listened to his press conference, it seemed to be something that surprised him and maybe even his doctors, because he did not enter for that … Thank God they found him and it was successful surgery. But they put me into account completely offset with the news, but I am grateful that the prognosis looks good,” said Favre.
Sanders’ medical team said he was “cured of cancer.”
Coach Prime continued to train despite fighting the disease, but Favre said that was typical of the Hall of Fame.

Deion Sanders says he never questioned God during his battle against bladder cancer
“I’m not surprised [he isn’t taking time off]. It is a grinder. When I was with Atlanta in my first year, Deion had already solidified its place in the NFL tradition. But one thing about Deion was never a Tackleler, and I would admit it. But he worked with his butt … He played all the plays in practice as if he were the winning play of the Super Bowl. So I am not surprised that he is digging his heels and will continue training, “said Favre.
Favre has his own health battles, since he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
“It is not that he needs my advice, but that he is still doing what you are doing. And while enjoying it, whatever it is, in his case it is to train … Keep doing it,” said Favre. “You are impacting so many people and so many people are throwing you, just keep it rolling.”
