Summary
Sanders said this week he is cancer-free after treatment for an aggressive bladder cancer diagnosed in 2025, adding that he is ready to return fully to coaching Colorado.
Doctors removed his bladder and built a new one from part of his intestine after the cancer was found during a routine vascular exam; Sanders said early detection was crucial.
The reconstructed bladder left him dealing with incontinence, including fears of wetting himself during travel and after games, as he adjusted to the surgery's aftermath.
That recovery challenge led Sanders to become a Depend spokesman, saying the product let him travel and sleep without the same anxiety.
The update marks a turnaround after years of serious health problems, including recurring blood clots that led to multiple toe amputations and a 2025 clot-removal procedure.
