Deion Sanders had bladder removed in shocking cancer battle

July 28, 2025

Deion Sanders revealed the details of the mystery health issue that has been ailing him this offseason. Sanders announced during a University of Colorado news conference on Monday that he had surgery to have his bladder removed after being diagnosed with cancer. The cancer, which Sanders said was an aggressive form, was “cured” thanks to an alternative procedure that involved removing his bladder and creating a new one with his own intestines. Sanders, 57, added that you can expect to see portable toilets on the sidelines of games to help him with the situation as he plans to coach the team this season. “I cannot control my bladder,” Sanders said. Sanders has been suffering from troubling medical issues in recent years. He said he was forced to make a will in May due to the cancer. He previously had toes removed due to problems with blood clotting, which had a debilitating effect on his legs and feet. While the head coach of Jackson State in 2021, Sanders underwent surgery for a dislocated toe and an inflamed nerve, which shed light on life-threatening blood clots in his femoral artery.

Emmy Russell, granddaughter of country legend Loretta Lynn and former American Idol finalist, provided an update on her 6-month-old daughter after she was hospitalized. Russell and her husband Tyler Ward have revealed that their daughter Taylor Ray, was diagnosed with infantile spasms, which is a type of epilepsy, according to the Child Neurology Foundation. “We learned yesterday that she has infantile spasms, which, after doing research, it’s 0.02% of conditions. So, it’s very, very rare,” Ward explained in an Instagram video with his wife. He added that when treated early, outcomes can be positive, though it remains “about 50-50 chance, which is crazy.” The couple said they have been encouraged by initial treatment results. Ward reported that doctors administered steroids to help reduce brain activity, and Taylor Ray has not experienced any spasms since beginning treatment.

Ambulance to Kawakawa. Ambulance to Whangārei and then that night broke the news that I have a tumour in my bowel and I need to have emergency surgery. I suppose I’m very lucky to my surgeon.

All Black great on last year’s gym collapse

July 21, 2025

Auckland – Former All Blacks hooker Keven Mealamu, 46, has given an update on his heart condition after collapsing at the gym last year and opened up on what it means to be on the board of Creative New Zealand. In September last year, Mealamu shared footage on social media showing him collapsing at a gym. He found out he had the condition after two heavy training bouts in preparation for a charity boxing event in 2022. “Sometimes when I look back, I think to myself, ‘what was I thinking?’ But it’s probably that mentality of coming out of professional sports, just loving the opportunity to challenge yourself,” Mealamu tells Culture 101. Since then, he’s undergone medical procedures and been in and out of hospital. “I had one done before Christmas and it had been in rhythm. But I found out a couple of weeks ago it’s gone back into AFib again. I don’t have the symptoms where some people find it really hard to walk or just comes on really spontaneously. But I’m able to control mine.”
