When you hear “Deion Sanders,” you don’t picture fragility. You picture flash, dominance, and sunglasses indoors. But beneath all that swagger was a fight few saw coming. It started with leg pain, just another hurdle, he thought. But doctors discovered dangerous blood clots, not just in one leg but both. It was a condition that posed life-altering risks and would soon reveal a much more complex and urgent medical concern.
Further testing brought an even heavier blow: a tumor in his bladder. Sanders was now facing a cancer diagnosis when his kids were inching toward their rookie seasons. The response was swift and decisive; doctors performed a major surgery to remove his bladder and reconstruct it using a segment of his intestine. Recovery was long and demanding. Physically, Coach Prime stood firm, but mentally? He almost gave up on his life.
On Monday, Deion Sanders sat down with the Cowboys legend, Michael Irvin, where he talked about his tough cancer battle, as he revealed the toughest decision he had to make for his kids and family—to make the Will. “It was the the toughest time, the most difficult time was cuz I I I got a several hours surgery coming up the next day and I had to make sure being a businessman, my estate was great,” he told Irvin.
And when Irvin asked if he feared he might not make it back, you could see Deion nearly unravel. “You never know,” he added. “I don’t I don’t want my kids and my family to be in a situation that I didn’t take care of business. So the night before, I’m up with my lawyers at the crib, and we’re getting it done, and I’m sitting up here thinking about each kid. All right. Okay. Okay. They can make it with this.”
