July 28 (UPI) -- University of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders on Monday said he beat cancer after undergoing the full removal of his bladder in May.
Sanders, entering his third season as the Buffaloes' coach, described his health situation at the CU Touchdown Club adjacent to Folsom Field in Boulder.
Sanders said he will continue to coach this season, including the season opener at Folsom Field on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech.
The 57-year-old former NFL and college star appeared with Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of Urologic Oncology at CU Cancer Center, and Lauren Askevold, the school's assistant athletic trainer.
